Message to Major

Directed by Francis Gerard

With Pieter-Dirk Uys, Lizz Meiring and Ramolao Makhene

This BBC film, written and performed by South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Ulys, is a video postcard to the British Prime Minister from one Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout, South African ambassador to the fictitious black homeland of Bapetikosweti. Relishing his opportunity to satirise both the new and old South Africa, Dirk Uys delivers a lesson in history
