In South Africa during the apartheid era, there was a character called Evita Bezuidenhout (created by Piet-Dirk Uys, performer, author, satirist, and social activist). Evita B (Uys) made so much succinct fun of the crooked thinking about apartheid that then existed, that friend and foe could not help but laugh at themselves.
