Q: Who are the two most favourite Joburg residents for you and why?


A: It's the ambitious  and innovative residents of the city, because they inspire me. I don't have specific names of people.


Q: What's your earliest memory of the city?


A: My earliest memory of the city, was when I was 5 years old taking a metro rail train from Soweto to Downtown Jozzi. I picked up horse betting ticket paper and thought it was money and I said to my auntie who was with me at the time, that we must go to Chicken Licken and have a meal. That's why to this day I still go to Chicken Licken.
