I was born and raised in Bellville, near Cape Town, South Africa, and am a fluent speaker of Afrikaans and English. In my spare time I enjoy socialising, reading, and sampling the various wonderful wines for which the Cape Winelands is known for. I’m also a member of Mensa Winelands.
Another hobby which takes up a lot of my time is music. I’ve sung in various choirs, the most recent being Schola Cantorum, the academic chamber choir of Stellenbosch University‘s Department of Music. I also like to tickle the ivories now and again.
