South African rugby legend, Tendai “The Beast” Mtawarira was recently announced as the ambassador for a local school group.
The Brettenwood Coastal Estate resident is a well-known role model who will represent Reddam House and Reddford House schools in the Inspired Education Group.
Inspired South Africa CEO Ravi Nadasen said:
“In our search for a South African who could motivate our students to greatness, who could represent our schools and all that we stand for with professionalism and integrity, we recognised that the selection was big, but in Mtawarira we have a truly great fit.”
He said Mtawarira’s path to fame and rugby world cup glory in 2019 had not been an easy one.
“His indomitable spirit, his passion for his team, his game and his country, and as he describes it, his hunger to do well, together with his compassion for people who sometimes struggle in life, placed him a cut above anyone else. Tendai is an authentic hero.
“Author Albert Schweitzer might have been referring to him when he said, ‘Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.”
He further said they were proud that Mtawarira had chosen to link his name and his reputation for excellence on and off the field, with their schools.
