''[[Madam & Eve]]'' is a South African comic strip created by [[Stephen Francis]] and [[Rico Schacherl]].

==The original text==
Written by [[Stephen Francis]] and drawn by [[Rico Schacherl]], the Madam & Eve cartoon strip has been tickling the South African funny bone since 1992. The cartoon depicts the daily lives of a white madam and her black domestic worker, Eve, exploring themes of race, class, and gender in post-apartheid South Africa. The strip is known for its humor and social commentary.

The strip was first published in July 1992, in a black and white weekly format in ''[[The Weekly Mail]]'' (now the ''[[Mail & Guardian]])'' and in a monthly colour format in ''[[Living]]'' magazine. In 1993 the creators added five daily cartoons, also in black and white.

==Translations and adaptations==

The comic strip was adapted into a successful TV show in 2000.

Writers of episodes for the TV show include: [[Stephen Ronald Francis]], [[Craig Gardner]] and [[Dennis Venter]].

Directors of episodes for the TV show include: [[Andre Odendaal]] and [[Raymond Sargeant]].

The cast is as follows: [[Val Donald-Bell]] (Gwen 'Madam' Anderson), [[Tina Jaxa]] (Eve Sisulu), [[David Dukas]] (Bobby Blackburn), [[Lillian Dube]] (Mielie Lady), [[Angelique Pretorius]] (Hippy Girl), [[Sean Cameron Michael]] (Steven), [[Jennifer Steyn]] (Marge), [[Karl Thaning]] (Dr. Bushnell), [[Matthew Dylan Roberts]] (Laurie Immelman), [[Patrick John Walton]] (Security Salesman), [[Ralph Lawson]] (Gwen's suitor), [[Joe Mafela]] (Sol), [[Lukhanyo Bele]] (Dumisani), [[Joshua Lindberg]] (Motivational Speaker), [[Brendan Pollecutt]] (William).

 It's a groundbreaking eOriginals South African television sitcom based on the popular comic strip Madam & Eve created by S Francis, H Dugmore and Rico which takes a humorous look at the unique relationship between a middle-class white woman, Gwen “Madam” Anderson ([[Val Donald-Bell]]), and her black maid, Eve Sisulu ([[Tina Jaxa]]), who are coming to terms with the new South Africa as the apartheid era draws to a close. Like the cartoon strip, the sitcom examines the fears, prejudices, and foibles of white and black South Africans alike, aiming to show South Africans the absurdities of separateness. Madam & Eve is, more than anything else, a comedy of hope and reconciliation.
