MacKenzie: Living for creativity and owning a few rescue animals.
MacKenzie: It’s just getting started!
MacKenzie: Beating the odds. Wide open spaces. Ice cream on a hot day; a warm fire on a cold one. A cold beer and a chop off the braai.

MacKenzie: I take my kit off when I’ve had one to many, please don’t test me on this.
MacKenzie: A lot of music, I love eighties music. Yes, I’m weird like that.
MacKenzie: You have to love this industry, and I mean really love it. What you put in, you will get out, so put in everything you have.
