What is your philosophy in life? You should never be upset with your fellow man – be amazed at his peculiarities instead.

What made you join the NBC? I always considered broadcasting to be my calling, next to my activities on the stage and in the movies.

What do you love most about broadcasting? The creative aspect of the work – broadcasting is no 8 to 5 job and every day is a fascinating, artistic challenge. 

What was your most memorable experience at the NBC? My live broadcasts of music concerts from the National Theatre of Namibia during the 90s.

hat is your message to the public? Do not inform yourself too one-sidedly, especially as concerns music. Have an interest in all music genres and do not only get involved politically, but also culturally. Everybody should nurture their culture and be open to other cultures.

What are your future plans? I have reached the final stage of my life – my last 20 years on earth, but I will stay with the NBC for as long as the NBC will carry me. Obviously there are limits (such as illness).
