@watsenaam @Oom_Rugby Your memory is great, except Akha and Mister are 2 separate people! Akha is at Tuks. He spent the past 3 years at the Bulls. You should hopefully see him soon in the Varsity Cup. Mister is playing for our club, Connect NTK.

We're so proud of our day 1 athlete Boepa. What a journey and still plenty more to come!

@Slipcatch So proud of both of them! ❤️

[Rágnár Ván Töndérsön @Slipcatch]

@ConnectNPC You nearly had two ex-students scoring the winning try in yesterday's derby, Haashim Pead did it in Durban and Lukhanyo Vokozela moved the ball to Ntuthuko Mchunu in the driving mall just before Ntuthuko scored that one. 🤣

@Slipcatch Not sure if you know Haashim was a Connect kid, too. That's Lukhanyo standing behind him in this picture.

Yesterday was a special day for all of us at Connect.
One of our original Khayelitsha players, Lukhanyo Vokozela, made his URC debut for the @StormersRugby.
Coach John Dobson spoke about his journey at the post-match press conference. Thanks to @MarcoJacobsZA for the footage.

@AmiJaneD @Slipcatch They actually played against each other in the Currie Cup, which was another special moment for all of us in Connect.
