Quotes
Life in Limpopo is quite amazing. Tzaneen itself is quite small but surrounded by beautiful farms, nature reserves and we have nice warm weather throughout the year.
It wasn’t the easiest place to play cricket. We never played enough school cricket throughout the year, and the standard was below par.
We also did not have the greatest of facilities compared to the schools in Gauteng and there were a lot of external factors that made it difficult.
I am however happy with how my first-class career has gone thus far and I’m striving to keep pushing for bigger and better things.
I’m still young so I believe my best cricket is still ahead of me and if I keep putting in the performances as I have, the opportunity will come.
I try not to pay attention to what the media says about me, because at the end of the day I must be satisfied with my performance, regardless of what anyone says.
But I was fortunate enough to have a great mentor in Dave Hawken and Pieter van der Merwe (Merensky Highschool First XI Coach) who kept pushing me in the right direction along with my provincial coach, Mandla Mashimbyi, who is the Titans assistant coach currently.
