"My favourite place to kick off the day on the Dolphin Coast is Thompsons Beach. It’s one of the best beaches in KwaZulu-Natal. I go there with my family and my kids swim in the tidal pools. There’s a lot to take in and if you come in the morning to see the sunrise it’s really spectacular."

"The Shark Stadium [Kings Park Stadium] is in the heart of the city and it’s an iconic stadium. I was able to play here for 15 years. I came here as a youngster when I was 18 and this is where I grew and learned great things. It means a hell of a lot to me."

"I love the Umhlanga Beach Promenade. It’s an iconic place, the scenery is beautiful and it’s a cool hangout spot, especially in the morning. If you’re a runner, come in the wee hours of the morning for a nice jog. I do that often. And it’s also got some really cool coffee spots."

"Yori Ōki is a Japanese restaurant that me and my family enjoy. It’s in a block called the Lifestyle Centre and we go there for our shopping walkabout. It’s a cool hangout spot for us."
