Aside from playing in the tournament, Senzo plays first-team rugby for NHS. “It was a great privilege to be selected; all the hard work has paid off. I have to thank every coach during my schooling career and my colleagues for all their support,” he admitted. “I wish to be an inspiration to the fellow pupils I leave behind.”
Playing since Grade 8, Senzo is looking forward to a career in rugby and is considering of attending the Pretoria Blue Bulls Rugby Academy in the near future.
