Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
An entertaining character, Brandes was known for his run-ins with his opponents. He could have played more than just 10 Tests and 59 ODIs had he maintained his fitness levels.
While the hat-trick was noteworthy, Brandes best moment was obviously the dismissal of his best friend, Graeme Hick in the 1992 WC on the way to match-winning figures of 4/21.
An useful lower order batsman, Brandes could give the ball a thwack. His technique was pretty good as shown when he scored a century at first class cricket in South Africa.
Brandes went into coaching upon retirement and was briefly in the Zimbabwe academy. When the political situation deteriorated in 2003, Brandes immigrated to Queensland in Australia where he continued his coaching career.
He now runs a tomato farm on the Sunshine Coast. From chickens to tomatoes, Farming and Eddo Brandes are inseparable.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A bull of a man, barrel-chested with a twinkle in his eye and a penchant for a drink, Eddo Brandes achieved world fame in 1996-97 as the chicken farmer who took a hat-trick and twice bowled Zimbabwe to one-day wins over England. But he was more than just a one-series wonder, and his pacy outswingers could also have won Test matches had his fitness record not been so poor. Brandes was also a powerful late-order hitter with a good technique and an even better eye who once scored a first-class hundred in South Africa. He is also remembered for masterminding Zimbabwe's shock World Cup victory over England at Albury in 1992. A gifted allround sportsman, he could hit a golf ball harder than most although he also suffered from more than his fair share of injuries. He briefly coached at the national academy, but fed up with the deteriorating political situation which affected his farm, in 2003 he emigrated to Queensland where he carried on coaching.
