Evita@90

Evita Bezuidenhout turns 90, still celebrated as South Africa’s most famous white woman. Tannie Evita believes remembering our past helps us value our future. Now an ANC member who “cooks for reconciliation”, Gogo Evita faces new challenges from her three grandchildren, whose TikTok questions keep her on her toes. She insists we don’t need a crystal ball to predict the country’s future – our democracy will endure. It is the past, she says with a touch of wit, that remains uncertain and surprising.
