Pietie Klaasen is a farm worker on Hazendal, a historic wine farm outside Stellenbosch. He is wearing high-heeled silver sandals, a tinkling charm bracelet and green eye shadow. His two front teeth are missing which puts a crack in his smile.

"Please call me Melanie," he says.

Pietie is an expert on pesticides but his real interest is dressing like a girl and gardening. "Oh, my roses, I love my roses.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
