Linky and I got married in Franschhoek in 1987 and lived in Cape Town CBD until 2009, when I decided to have a career change. We now live in Boschenmeer, Paarl. We do not have kids, both play golf, do the odd park run and enjoy cooking and a few glasses of wine. We have a few Mantelli’s Direct stores, love Namibia, the Kgalagadi and camp as often as possible.
