Rugby, Gym, Movies and Sokkie

  • Rugby: I have played rugby since primary school, gaining experience across multiple positions (2, 6, and 7) before settling into scrumhalf (9) in Grade 9. I went on to represent my high school's 1st Team for two consecutive years.
  • Gym & Fitness: I maintain a consistent strength training routine at the gym to stay physically conditioned and to support mental clarity and focus.
  • Cinema & Movies: I enjoy watching quality films and cinema to unwind and appreciate good storytelling and cinematography.
  • Social Dancing (Sokkie): I participate in traditional social dancing (sokkie) as a healthy social outlet to meet new people and connect with others.
