Hagen Engler

Hagen Engler is so white he understands Radiohead and once went bungee-jumping. But somehow he found himself married to a militant black woman. Today he types columns and blogs for a living, and tries to steer the conversation away from land reform. He's been learning Xhosa since 1994, was once an editor of a bikini mag and is now out to boost his depleted feminist cred as househusband and nappie changer to the stars. His skin might be white, but his soul has a slight suntan.
