Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?

My daily Sudoku – it helps wake up my brain in the morning.

What makes you laugh?

Any dry slow burning jokes that take a bit of thought generally make me chuckle.

If you had to take part in Karaoke, what would be your song of choice?

I would probably butcher Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

Which celebrity would you most like to meet up for a coffee / glass of wine and why?

I’d love to have a drink with Rassie Erasmus. His leadership of the Springboks is inspiring – he’s shown how to unite a team, adapt under pressure, and lead with both heart and innovation. Plus, I bet he has some great stories about rugby and his shenanigans!

What’s on your bucket list?

To visit every country in Europe.

What three items would you take with you to a desert island?

Water, my braai and some form of paddleboard or canoe.

What’s your proudest accomplishment?

Moving to the UK with very little and being able to purchase a flat just a few years later.

Have you ever met anyone famous? – story please!

I met Cuba Gooding Jr. in a bar in downtown New York, nothing overly exciting but he seemed like a down-to-earth guy.

What is the best gift you’ve ever been given?

Probably my Weber BBQ – many fantastic “braais” centred around it.
