Q: What is your favourite hangout spot in Joburg and why?
A: I enjoy the occasional visit to the many hotel roofs like Sandton deck or Hyde park, there's a gathering of the continent for a good time and good conversations but mostly I prefer the serenity of my home.

Q: Who are two most favourite Joburg residents for you and why?
A: I don't really have that many.
Q: What’s your earliest memory of the city?
A: Funny enough my memories are always the trips I made as a kid going in and out of Jsec, the excitement of going back home to KZN and seeing the city behind me as the taxi drove away and the lights that ushered me back and spoke to me about hope of a bright future
Q: What’s your favourite iconic feature about the city ?
A: It has to be Bree and Noord street, the energy all day is indubitable but also, the whole of Africa in a space of a couple of meters all chasing a dream. I also like that it doesn't matter where you going it's where you'll find your taxi home. Also worth mentioning is Ponte, the building is for me, is what "Liberty" is to America and quintessentially Joburg. And Vilakazi, the street epitomizes of the South African story and history
