Food, Booze and Tattoos

Brett Rogers explores Johannesburg, his home town and the birthplace of some of South Africa's most successful institutions, to find the most mouth-watering food establishments, the coolest microbreweries, and the edgiest tattoo shops.

Brett travels Johannesburg to find the city's most innovative women; he meets Happy Sakanka at the Oakes Brewery, which boasts an all-girl brewed craft beer; he meets Ethel Laka, one of the only black female tattoo artists in the country.

Brett travels to South Africa's largest township, Soweto; township life has a culture all its own and is the birth place of Chisa Nyama, the practice of choosing meat off the butchers rack and having it cooked atop an open flame.

Brett explores the rejuvenated city district of Braamfontien; he meets Jamie Lorge and hears her concept of the Harvest table, a way to ensure the community eats fresh food daily; he also meets the mother and son team that created Inverroche gin.

Brett heads to the coast to visit the ultimate beach-goers destination, the city of Durban; Lucy Markewicz has a hand in everything from cooking to the restaurants in the area.

Brett breaks away from city life to the town of Nieu Bethesda, a land lost in time, in the heart of the Groot Karoo; Andre Cilliers owns the Sneuuberg distillery and Two Goats Deli.
