He started high school at Hilton College in 1969, but completed his education at Westville Boys' High School. On leaving school, he earned income writing adverting jingles.

Personal life

He married business partner Denise Britz, dance choreographer known for the floorshow cabarets and supper club theatre [8] at Durban's Ruby Tuesday, Millionaire's and The Wild Coast Sun.
