'It's Incredible How Quickly Your Life Can Change'

For over a decade, Roxy Burger was a presenter on one of sa’s most popular children’s TV programmes, KTV. she then went on to study a degree in audio-visual production management at the University of Johannesburg, before gaining an honours degree in brand strategy from Vega. Roxy has also worked behind the scenes as a producer on the dstv channel One Gospel, presented on two seasons of Strictly Come Dancing, and she has spent two years on Top Billing. This month she’s back on TV as the host of e! entertainment’s first season of How Do I Look? South Africa. Off camera, Roxy runs a video production and content creation company called Good Hustle. she lives in Meyersdal with her husband neil shraga, 33, who owns a logistics software company.

I come from a family of educators; my parents, sister, and cousin are all teachers. My mom even went on to be principal of a school, just like my aunt and grandfather did. I diverted from the family norm and chose to be in front of a camera, instead of a blackboard.

My dad’s always been such a big inspiration. He’s a self-taught guitarist who became a professional musician. Unfortunately, the money wasn’t enough to support our family, so he gave up his musical ambitions and got a regular day job for us. A few years ago he was shot in a hijacking and had a stroke soon after where he lost all control of the right side of his body. Not willing to let that stand in the way of his passion he taught himself to play guitar again.
