Spend some quality time with the most famous white woman in South Africa, a legend in her lunchtime thanks to her cooking, an icon who can confront any aikona and share with her the optimism and fearlessness that has made her one of the most respected voices in our wilderness of free speech.

 "DESPERATE FIRST LADIES" does not just refer to the many wives of our President. It will also feature a chorusline of iconic women - from Hillary Clinton and Grace Mugabe to Winnie Madikizela Mandela and Evita Bezuidenhout.

Among these hilarious sketches of survival, Uys will also portray his much-loved Jewish African princess Nowell Fine, Cape Malay firebrand Mrs Petersen, Bergie Wilhelmina Opklim and Evita's outspoken sister Bambi Kellermann. The ghost of PW Botha, recently seen in his Wilderness house, might also make a spooky appearance.

The Los Angeles Times recently said: 'Uys dons false eyelashes and presidents listen'

Once a year the barefoot meisie from Bethlehem stops and looks at herself in the Mirror of Time and realizes that she is as old as she feels in her heart. It is Evita Bezuidenhout's birthday and she is allowed to make a wish. Help her make it come true.

Darling and the Swartland are blessed with over one thousand species of wild flowers that are not found anywhere else in the world. Why? Because the Ice Age never came to Darling. (The National Party came to Darling, but never the Ice Age!) So come and smell the flowers of hope, sneeze away the pollen of fears and make this visit to Evita se Perron a celebration of another Spring with Tannie Evita.

Heritage Day makes sense at last. For so long what was seen as heritage was for whites only. Now everyone can share in the details of history, culture, ecology and politics. It might be the perfect day for a braai; it is also a perfect moment to laugh at fear and make that fear less fearful. Let us remember where we come from, so we can celebrate where we are going.

16 December was always a painful reminder of how wrong things had gone. It was an official celebration of segregation and separateness. Dingaan's Day, Bloedriver Dag, The Day of the Vow reminded a majority that the Vow was aimed against them. Today we reconcile. We have accepted the 'mock' in democracy and isolated the 'con' in reconciliation and yet inspite of all the doubts, South Africa can still look forward to a happy future and laugh together at the discomforts of the past. Join Tannie Evita as she reconciles yesterday with tomorrow by remembering it all today.

1 May is universally known as May Day, generally seen as a celebration of workers and their rights. In South Africa we celebrate Workers Day by giving workers the day off. So don’t work today. Come to Evita se Perron and have a look at who we are, where we were and what we hope for through the magic mirror of humour held up by the glamorous Evita Bezuidenhout. Truly a farce to be reckoned with.

Tannie does not have a big white beard, or come down the chimney. Her reindeer do not soil the gravelpath outside the fences of Evita se Perron and she does not sit in judgement of small children and their naughty acts of life. She also don’t give out presents to everyone. But her piano is groaning under the pile of gifts, tinsel, wrappings and secrets. Join Evita preparing for her ultimate Xmas, either in July or December and realise that to celebrate family, friends and yourself, you don't really need an official reason. Every day at Evita se Perron is a holiday. Some of those can be Xmas as well.

“XMAS IN JULY” is an ideal time to eat, drink and be merry at Evita se Perron in Darling, where Evita Bezuidenhout will make you forget you’re in South Africa in winter, just six months away from the festive season!

It’s cold, cosy, unique and memorable – a Christmas tree with Tannie and all that is found in the Christmas stocking – scandal, hope, laughter and a sing –a-long. The limited season runs for four weekends, so book early to avoid disappointment.
