Gevaar in South America

In and around South America

This is the tale of the world's most famous Afrikaans superhero, Gevaarlikman and his adventures in "die land wat soos wortel lyk". Disillusioned with the daily grind of the working world and the other fools who put up with it, Gevaar has left his beloved homeland behind in search of something to put the 'man' into Gevaarlikman.
