The performer, presenter and award-winning poet talks about living in the City of Gold:
Where were you born and when? On a cold New England winter’s day in the US on February 7 1979. We moved back to South Africa in 1995 when I was 16.
Have you received flack for your American accent? I get flack for my accent every day. I grew up in the US with an African name and a big ass so there’s always been something that’s pushed me out of the identity box.
Where do you live now? In Melville.
Who do you share your house with? My mother and manager, Prudence Matima, and a goldfish called Meeny.
