Under Apartheid, Uys used the medium of humour and comedy to criticise and expose the absurdity of the South African government's <a href="/wiki/Race_(classification_of_human_beings)" class="mw-redirect" title="Race (classification of human beings)">racial</a> policies. Much of his work was not censored, indicating a tacit approval of his views by many members of the ruling party, who were not so bold as to openly admit mistakes and criticise the policies themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For many years Uys lampooned the South African regime and its leaders, as well as the sometimes hypocritical attitudes of white liberals.

In the theatre, Uys/Evita's performances include <i>You ANC Nothing Yet</i>.
