What is the one thing that people don’t know about you?

I used to be a tennis coach in a previous life.

If you weren’t a politician, what would you be?

I would be an accountant.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy watching sports, soccer and tennis.

What lessons has fatherhood taught you and how has it shaped the man that you are today?

That life can be simple – at the end of a hard day at work, I come home to children that love me.mmusifront

What book are you reading now?

I am reading Believer: My Forty Years in Politics by David Axelrod, and Africa Is Open For Business by Victor Kgomoeswana.

What is your biggest fear?

That South Africa will become a failed state.

What advice would you give to a young person who aspires to have a political career like yours?

They must enter politics for the right reasons. I’m in politics because in whatever way I can, I want to influence the changing of people’s lives for the better. It should never be about money, titles or positions.

Why did you study theology?

I grew up in the church, and my grandmother thought I would be a priest.

What is your greatest achievement in life?

Fatherhood. I want all children to grow up in a better South Africa, with quality education, safer communities, a working healthcare system and an economy that will ensure them a job.
