HYSTERICAL HISTORICAL HISTORY WITH PIETER-DIRK UYS

 

Evita se Perron has the most extensive museum/nauseum on apartheid in the world.

Apartheid is now being taught in schools and there are no objective books.

The "born frees" (those born after 1994) cannot understand the madness, the monsters or the facts. Bring them to the Perron and let PDU take them through his version of history, laced with humour, but based on reality and pretty close to the truth.

 

Phone Kotie on 022 492 2831 or email  admin@evita.co.za
