Gastvrouw deze avond is Tiny Kraan. Zij behandelt bovenstaande titel van Alexander Strachan. Dwaalpoort is een oude boerderij in KwaZulu-Natal, geërfd door Rentia. Haar man Henning heeft de leiding over de boerderij, maar ook herder en ex-militair Bullet, Rentia's minnaar, hangt er rond. De spanning tussen hen komt tot een hoogtepunt als een van Henning’s vroegere docenten arriveert voor een safari. Graag aanmelden: zie site.
