One of the brightest stars in South African rugby, Siyamthanda Kolisi, is on his way to the Vodacom Cheetahs.
The coach of the Vodacom Free State, Pine Pienaar, confirmed Monday the grade 11 pupil of Grey PE, has accepted a contract from the Cheetahs. Kolisi is one of Grey PE's star performers and also excelled for Eastern Province at number eight during last year's Coca-Cola Cravenweek.
Due to his good performance during the Cravenweek, Kolisi was included as a reserve for the SA Schools side.
Pienaar also confirmed to the school website, Play On, that local school stars such as Stephan Kotze, Marcel van der Merwe, Baksteen van Heerden, Jean Cook, Pieter Rademan and Riaan Britz will further their careers at the Cheetahs.
Grey College stars, Francois Venter and Piet Lindeque are, however, high on the shopping lists of the Blue Bulls and Sharks.
p/s - I have been following the Festival and this Kolisi youngster looks promising. He is in the mould of a Kanko+Schalla if you have to consider his work rate. I'm glad they have done so before the Bulls could snatch him.
