Eben Venter’s Brouhaha column is by far the most popular in the Saturday BY. Each week there is stream of SMS’s from readers: ‘I really like Eben Venter’s Stoney stories. He does more to foster understanding and even admiration for the hated Oz among I-will-never-emigrate South Africans than anything or anybody else.’ Also: ‘Eben Venter’s word craft is like an oasis in the BY desert.’ Enjoy this choice of his very best Stoney stories, together with a handful of unsurpassable recipes and his amazing Brouhaha tales as a bonus.
