As the wide world knows, South Africa has had a very dodgy record of race relations between the white minority, formerly dominant, and the black majority, now able to vote and take charge of their own lives. This demanded and still demands lots of hard thinking on both sides, of course.

One of the ways people cope is by laughing at themselves and each other, and for many years there has been a cartoon strip called Madam and Eve, in which the white home-owner (Madam) is clearly not nearly as beautiful, intelligent or quick-thinking as Eve, her domestic worker. It's hilarious, and helpful; and I like puns!
