Quotes
My dad and I always got along well. We would go fishing and camping a lot, and it’s things I still remember today. My son is five years old now and this will be an amazing memory for him as well.”
This is an unbelievable initiative. It’s an incredible way of giving back and I can tell you I won’t be moving to another network. Father and son time is very special, and for Vodacom to arrange this is really amazing
It’s a very special field for me in that sense. I’ve been privileged to have sung the national anthem for the Springboks here at Loftus Versfeld as well as at Twickenham and in Bloemfontein and Cape Town.
You know, there are obviously a lot of bad things that happen and challenges facing our country, and you read about that every day in the newspapers. But as soon as you get into a stadium like Loftus Versfeld, or any of the big stadiums, it’s like all of that falls away and people just stand together no matter what their language or backgrounds. It’s amazing. If you’re in a stadium and the Vodacom Bulls or the Springboks are playing, people are one. I think the day we lose that – the day we lose those kinds of rugby games and the music and braaivleis that goes with it, then we’re in trouble. Fortunately I believe we won’t, and events like this Vodacom One Father and Son Sleepout also keep that alive for us.”
