Who said the only sport that is played in Soweto is soccer? Few years ago I would have laughed so loud when someone would have proposed to introduce rugby as a sport in ZOLA ! Rugby has always been seen as a white man’s sport. Thanks to Mbuso Soko who, when hearing our call to introduce sports activities in Bridgman, just with a positive response. Mbuso is a member of the Bridgman Memorial UCCSA.
He went and looked for donations – and we now have a full rugby kit. We also have his friendSibusiso Gida to assist him in the clinic. On the very first day at the rugby sports field a guy (came from nowhere) and offered to coach. He has Level 1 qualification in rugby coaching. All his expertises are his donation to Bridgman Centre. We started our Rugby Coaching Clinic two weeks ago. The first day we had only 10 boys (which hardly makes a team of 15 players). On the third day we had doubled the number. Watch the space.

Feel it, Rugby is here !
