I have an ArcGIS 10.3 geodatabase with feature classes in a custom projection of South Africa:

QGIS tries to match an incoming CRS with one it has on record and if
it can't you'll have to provide one. <br>
<br>
So, in Settings->CustomCRS, create one called, say 'Albers SA'
with your custom parameters. <br>
<br>
Here's one, for example, that I use when working with the whole of
South Africa:<br>
<br>
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><!--StartFragment-->+proj=aea +lat_1=-24,241886157 +lat_2=-32,715290215 +lat_0=0 +lon_0=24,670537409 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs<!--EndFragment--></p>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style><br>
Then choose it when you load those layers or, after you've loaded
them, go the General tab in their layer properties and set the CRS
to your new custom CRS. <br>

When I try to open this in QGIS 2.8, I get an error message that two of the feature classes' coordinate systems aren't recognised, and it therefore does not display at all.
Please advise how I can solve this problem - should I edit it in QGIS ?
Thanks in advance
Heidi
