If Mhluzi could produce Happy Jele, surely it can also give the country a second Siya Kolisi?

A new hero is being sought today as the Middelburg Junior Rugby Club, known as the ‘Kwaggas’, hosts a rugby sevens tournament at Zikhuphule Primary School.

Primary schools clash in sevens tournament

Competing schools include the host school, Makhathini, Thusanang, Eastdene, Elusindisweni and Manyano.

Boys and girls are participating in the U13 age group.

The final match will be played late this afternoon.

Jele holds the record for the most appearances for Orlando Pirates.
