[email protected] I love Cape Town because...it offers diversity in terms of everything that is quintessentially Cape Town.
I grew up in...Lotus River and it gave me a taste of how folks on the Flats live and how they survive under difficult circumstances.
Fondest memory...entering radio competitions from a little lounge in Lotus River and being on air on a national radio station with radio icons. They eventually got to know us personally
If I could improve my city...I'd invest in areas that really need it so that these communities can also have luxury and amenities
My city needs...more facilities for the poorer communities so that kids don't become bored and turn to drugs
I'm inspired by...Adversity. There are some amazing stories of folks who've had to overcome some huge hurdles and made a success of their lives. Can they step up and tell their stories.
My dream...Is to make loads of money and help those kids who show potential in any aspect of their lives attain their goals

I love Cape Town because......it encapsulates the world in just one city
I grew up in...I was raised in Glenhaven in Bellville South, but I grew up in a hip hop club called the Base. It's where I realised where I fit into the world we live in.
Fondest memory......going to the Grand Parade on a Saturday and having chip rolls or Gatsby's by the statue.
If I could improve my city...I would green it up and encourage communities to sustain themselves through agriculture. In the concrete jungle we live in these days, we don't often take time out to stop and smell the roses. I think by encouraging communities to have gardens they can live off, we'll also start encouraging a sense of pride in our communities.
My city needs...To rehabilitate prisoners to encourage them to become active members of society, by training and educating as well as socialising them. We also need to offer more assistance to single mothers in the form of Ubuntu, whereby the entire community is involved in the rearing and disciplining of youngsters born to single mothers.
I'm inspired by...Music. I think we can all derive satisfaction and inspiration from music. I listen to songs which leave me feeling positive. I think the subliminal level at which music stimulates my mind, leaves me wanting to be better, to do things differently and to have a positive outlook on life.
My dream...Is to record a hip hop music video filled with bling and modified cars, graffiti artists, break dancers, drag racing etc. With me as the music Video Vixen recorded in and around the Cape Flats.
[email protected] I love Cape Town because...This is where I was born and the city is alive with possibilities.
I grew up in...Cape Town and surrounds
Fondest memory...is time spent at the ocean
If I could improve my city...I would try to give people jobs
My city needs...administrators who gets the job done
I'm inspired by...people and teams who perform against all odds
My dream...is I'm falling then I wake up
