What time do you wake up on week days?

6.45 am. I have a shower and eat my breakfast. My day’s agenda is usually planed the previous evening.

Aside from property, what’s the most expensive thing you bought recently?

Re-doing my garden back home in Holland.

Whom would you invite to your dream dinner party?

The former South African President Nelson Mandela. He is a great man!

If you could edit your past, what would you change?

Nothing! I was brought up from a decent, wealthy family, attended good schools and pursued my career. And I have achieved my dream of being a successful soccer coach. 

When did you last cry, and why?

Last summer. I was on a bench during APR FC’s match, when I received heartbreaking news that my sister had passed away in Holland. I missed the burial because I couldn’t leave before the match was over.

What is your favourite style of music?

Usually, when I’m home, I enjoy listening to cool music played in the background. But elsewhere, I can listen to any style played.

My wife and daughter.

If you have time to yourself…

I do sports. In Holland I participate in cycling competitions.
