Ben Trovato's 'On The Run' is a compilation of his satirical columns that were published each Tuesday in the Cape Times between 2002 and 2007. The column was also syndicated to the Witness, South Africa's oldest newspaper. He also wrote the popular Whipping Boy column for the country's biggest-selling newspaper, The Sunday Times. He is currently a columnist on the Sunday Tribune.
When On The Run first appeared in the Cape Times in September, 2002, it was met with equal measures of spluttering outrage and rip-snorting hilarity. Some called Trovato obnoxious, offensive, slanderous and rude. Others said they laughed so much that their morning coffee spurted from their nose.
Then there were those who loved the column – right up until the crosshairs swung in the direction of their own skin colour, their own religion, their own hard-earned prejudices. Suddenly, it wasn’t so funny.
