Twerking gogos

One of Dibakwane’s popular stand-up routines is about lascivious gogos in taxis. In a recent stage performance, he said: “I came here by taxi. I don’t mind taxis, I’ll even collect the money. But haai, my problem is those perverted grannies. You know that gogo, she acts like she wants to pass . . . [he demonstrates with a rolling twerk how the gogo bumps her derrière against other passengers]. Those gogos, with the ‘Sorry, ntwana yam [my children], sorry’ . . . we know what you are doing.” His physical comedy is interspersed with topical one-liners like: “I would share a joke about land. But I don’t have any.”
