NATHAN KOTZEN, long-time assistant to Mike de Kock in Durban, arrived in Dubai on Thursday morning and was in time for “Breakfast With The Stars”.

 This is Nathan’s first trip overseas and Dubai is just the right place for a new South African traveller to discover the treasures of a fine, first-world city.

 “No, shucks,” says Nathan, ”this could be too much for me!”  Next to him, Mike’s son Mathew looks nonchalant, he’s a dude who has flown to all parts of the world with his famous father.
