An account of eccentric people and places, such as Nataniel, Koos Kombuis, the Owl House, Rustlers Valley and more, offering an interesting insight into an extraordinary part of South African society.

"Eccentric South Africa" is a celebration of the extraordinary people and places that abound in this country. The title features the wandering Outa Lappies Schoeman, spiritual artists Noria Mabasa and Jackson Hlungwane, alternative Afrikaners Koos Kombuis and Nataniel. There are interviews with ghost-hunters, a white sangoma, and a man who lives in a shoe. The title also showcases curious pubs, restaurants and guesthouses, and explores the remarkable history of places such as Groot Marico and Matjiesfontein. Also covered are some of the more outlandish events in which South Africans take part, such as the Klein Karoo Arts Festival and the Dagga Olympics.
