Naturist Vongani Nkuna says naturism has brought him peace and happiness.
Naturism is a lifestyle based on the practice of social nudity as well as respect for the natural environment.
The term is often used interchangeably with nudism. Nudists and naturists participate in various social activities without clothes in designated areas.
Nkuna and his wife adopted the naturism lifestyle in 2015 after experiencing what he described as an 'existential crisis'.
He says he was looking for more excitement and fulfilment in his life when he discovered naturism online.
"I think it was more about a novel activity to do at first", he tells CapeTalk host Sara-Jayne King.
Nkuna says going naked has been a therapeutic and healing experience for him and his wife.
The pair have visited a number of serene nudist resorts where they get to socialise with like-minded people who practice nudism.
It wasn't easy at first but Nkuna says they quickly became comfortable and let go of their reservations.
Nkuna says he has learned a lot about naturism etiquette and shares his experiences on Weekend Breakfast.
