– IOL News, 25 October 1999

"We had used the concept of dekaffirnated once before in a cartoon, and it worked very well," Stephen said.
Both Uys and Bezuidenhout will appear in the strip.
Uys is thrilled at the compliment.
"It's a rare privilege to be included in Madam & Eve without having a prison record or scandal hovering over one's head", he said.
Uys said he had always admired them as being insightful political commentators.
"In fact, Evita Bezuidenhout and Madam & Eve have a lot in common, they are both the mouthpiece of men who have a lot to say, but need someone else to say it," Uys said.
