Outstanding Craven Week for Bathobele Hlekani

Graeme College scholar Bathobele Hlekani, 18, had an outstanding Craven Week for Eastern this year. That then saw the giant flanker earn the award of player of the week while also forming part of the SA Schools squad. But before all of that success, Hlekani’s journey saw him go through Emsengeni Primary, a school Springbok captain Siya Kolisi also attended. But it would be at Ndzondelelo High School where his love affair with rugby started, before he moved to his current school in Makanda in 2021. Newzroom Afrika’s Yolulwe Qoshe has more.
