Where do you live? Orange Grove.
Who do you share your house with? My partner, Mathahle, and son Zimele.
You've been said to be one of SA's most stylish men. Do you feel pressure to always be impeccably dressed? Not really. I am confident enough to let the outfit put itself together.

What's your most treasured possession? My memories and dreams.
I'm predisposed to? Caution.
What's your favourite building in Joburg? There are many, but Corner House in the CBD (pictured), where we shot Diamond in the Ruff is up there. It has spectacular views and plenty of space. I imagine my alter ego living there with a harem to rival King Sobhuza's.

My friends and I like ... laughing and intellectual jousting.
Perfect happiness is ... never having to set aside your convictions for the sake of expediency.
Have you ever taken public transport in Joburg? From Southgate to Krugersdorp on a Saturday morning after a night of promise turned to disaster.
Everything in moderation but ... the pursuit of knowledge.
