Lentswe, Klerksdorp - Matlosana’s Executive Mayor, Cllr James Tsolela, congratulated 19-year-old Kgotatso Sibi from Jouberton who was invited by the Bloemfontein Rugby Academy to take part in their program in order to nurture his rugby skills and talent. Sibi left for Bloemfontein on January 30. The young sportsman comes from a small family of six.
He discovered his interest in rugby while attending Keurhof in 2016. His older brother took him to a rugby match, and the team decided to use him, which sparked his love for the sport. He also played for school teams like THS, Wesvalia and Schoonspruit. Mayor Tsolela gave Sibi a fitting send-off last week encouraging him to become the next Siya Kolisi.
