Describe your ultimate night out?

A night at the theatre is always my favourite night out; whether it’s at Theatre on the Square or any of the other theatres – it is the ultimate experience. I love supporting our great cultural tradition and talent in Joburg.

Where can we find the best cup of coffee?

Father Coffee in Kramerville or Olives and Plates in Hyde Park Corner at Exclusive Books.

What is your favourite local store?

The Pantry on Jan Smuts Avenue and Cremalat in Dunkeld and Maestroantonio Deli on Jan Smuts.

Favourite spot for a date night?

Anywhere I go with my husband is the best.

Your favourite adrenaline packed activity is?

The excitement of discovering and seeing the talent of young children is always adrenaline packed; such as the auditions of the children for Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Also the adrenaline of an opening night is always exciting.

Where is a must visit place for a first-timer?

Theatre on the Square, Sandton. 

Prison Break Market and a historical walk in Westcliff or along the banks of the Woodmead Springs. The owls display at the Joburg Zoo.

Do you have any weekend traditions?

Lunch in Parkhurst with the family.

The perfect place for a girls night is?

The pool deck at the Radisson Red in Rosebank.
