"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."

Segway Tour at Moses Mabhida Stadium

"There’s a lot to do around the Moses Mabhida Stadium. The segway tour is definitely one of the things my son loves. The distance between the stadium and the beach is close so you can take a segway and go all the way to the beach and hang out there. It’s a really nice place to be with the family."

"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."

"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."
