Eat, drink & blame the ancestors

It's been five years since Ndumiso Ngcobo released a book, and the South African book industry and its readers have been poorer, and less amused, for it.

Thankfully, Ndumiso has been writing in the meantime, for Sunday Times Lifestyle, and he feels it's time for a new collection of his halucinations.

As a result, October 2014 will see the launch of his latest book, featuring his best work from the last five years - updated, revised, reworked and generally souped-up - just in time to cash in on the Christmas book-buying rush.

Hey, he's got a corporate background; he knows what he's doing.

The publication is a joint venture between the Sunday Times and Burnet Media.
