We caught up with the gorgeous TV presenter, celeb blogger and brand new mum, Roxy Burger, to find out more about where she loves to hang out in our beautiful city. Favourite Restaurant… I’m a sucker for GREAT sushi and dim sum, so my go to would have to be Koi in Sandton.

Their food is delicious and there cakes are phenomenal too. I highly recommend their carrot and pineapple cake. Favourite Hotel… I would have to say the Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst. Their spa is incredible too. The atmosphere is fantatsic and…
