Who Are We

We are a South African satirical news blog created for the mad, magnificent, and utterly unpredictable timeline we’re all stumbling through. Inspired by the irreverent spirit of The Onion, we peel back the chaos of daily life with sharp wit, local flavour, and a healthy dose of absurdity.

A Lekker Story

From politics to downright bizarre fiction, Hey Banana delights in skewering the headlines while reminding readers not to take the world—or themselves—too seriously. Bold, cheeky, and proudly South African.
