I am pretty sure when Kerrie Bornman came up with this tune, the last thing he had in mind was the likes of Pieter-Dirk Uys (a.k.a. Mrs. Evita Bezuidenhout), the outrageous South African comedian and political activist.  But since I do not know the history of the song (and while I am sharing a bit of South African culture), I am sure "Uncle" Kerrie would have appreciated the irreverent humor.  Hopefully, you will too.
