"Moer hulle!" You mightn't think a machine as carefully tuned as South Africa's cricket team would look to the crassness of the clownish Fikile Mbalula for guidance, but they have followed the former sports minister's mantra in thrashing Bangladesh in two Tests and three one-day internationals (ODI) and merely beating them in the first T20.
If the three series had been three rounds of boxing, the fight would have been stopped when Bangladesh walked into South Africa's first jab and swallowed their mouthguard.
But boxing is significantly more civilised than cricket, which demands that punch-drunk opponents keep getting up if only to keep being floored.
So, what are South Africa to do except inflict damage that will scar the Bangladeshis for years to come?Or, as Faf du Plessis said: "We have a standard and we strive to play to that standard no matter the opposition, and we have done that well in this series."
Zimbabwe are doubtless in for a similar shellacking in the four-day Test at St George's Park in December.
What might it all mean in a summer that will also feature tours by India and Australia?
How much can South Africa - convincingly beaten in England this winter - learn from knocking out palookas like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe?
Plenty, said selection convenor Linda Zondi: "The manner in which we have won matters a great deal. When you know you're on top and you're playing against a weaker opponent you have to dominate them.
"That's what I've been thrilled by - we've dominated them from the first Test.
"We had to prepare as if we were playing against one of the top teams, because that's how winning becomes a culture."
The intensity vacuum caused by Bangladesh's inability to compete had given the selectors time and space to assess individual players more fully.
Players like Aiden Markram, who was in South Africa's dressing room in England but didn't play. Instead, he made 97 on Test debut against Bangladesh, 143 in his second Test, and 66 on his ODI debut...
