Biography[edit]
Born in Cape Town, Bennie was raised in a Usutu Valley hamlet in Swaziland. This, she wrote, "provided a beautiful contrast to my early life".[1] She spent two years in a Pietermaritzburg boarding school, and two more at university, before dropping out to "explore freedom"[2] and become a waitress in what she describes as the terrifying [3] metropolis of Johannesburg.
She later returned to Cape Town as part of her training as an air traffic controller. There she began "working on my 'happily ever after', until stardom/self-humiliation in the form of reality television summoned me back to Gauteng."[4] There she took part in the smash-hit Big Brother before moving to radio.
Bennie, a self-described adrenaline junkie who says she is "[e]ver the adventurer,"[5] climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in August 2008.
