About Message to Major

This BBC film, written and performed by South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Ulys, is a video postcard to the British Prime Minister from one Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout, South African ambassador to the fictitious black homeland of Bapetikosweti. Relishing his opportunity to satirise both the new and old South Africa, Dirk Uys delivers a lesson in history

Directed by Francis Gerard, Message to Major leans on a strong ensemble — Pieter-Dirk Uys, Lizz Meiring, Ramolao Makhene — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1991.
