Coconut Kelz's Guide to Surviving this Shithole

Written by Lesego Tlhabi

Narrated by Lesego Tlhabi

‘There is only one way to survive and even thrive in the third world, and that is by being as Caucasian as you possibly can. Fact: white people have it easier in life because they deserve it.’

 

Coconut Kelz is a young Caucasian woman trapped in a black woman’s body. Kelz lives in – and tries never to leave – Sandton and is a staunch member of the DA.

With handy tips for how to achieve the white right standard of beauty, deal with your family in the lalis, pick the best suburb to live in and nab yourself a white guy, Kelz offers a complete guide to a full Caucasian conversion.

Through the mask of her character Coconut Kelz, whose apparent adoration of all things white has riled many an unsuspecting viewer of her online videos, Lesego Tlhabi speaks straight to the heart of this country’s strong residue of prejudice, framing hard and potent truths to incredibly funny effect.
