Are South Africans too woke for Schuster's old jokes?We all love a good laugh. And there’s no better place to get it than in a nice, uncomplicated comedy series or movie. As someone who is not a keen fan of stand-up comedy, I always get my kick from different offerings on the small and big screen. the whole world is too woke for his jokes!!! Leave Leon alone, it is these intellctuals with western mindset who want to impose their history and narrative on us. We love love Leon Malema woke us up, and we are now fearless. So don't play with the black skin
