DescriptionDouglas Boetie, Pimville journalist (and actor in the Drum photo-crime serial "The Ghost"): I want a wife who can wash and polish my floors without flinching. Also I want a wife that I can beat up in case I feel angry with her. You beat an African woman and she's all right afterwards. If you did the same thing to a white wife you'd be a criminal. You'd have to handle them with care like you're carrying eggs in your hands. Not for me.
