🏉🇿🇦 Congratulations to our very own Rhandzu Mkhabela on being selected for the SA Schools Academy Team!

This is an incredible achievement and a true reward for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to the game. You have represented our club, our province, and everyone who has been part of your journey with pride.

We are extremely proud of you and cannot wait to see what the future holds. Keep chasing your dreams and continue inspiring the next generation of rugby players.

Well done, Rhandzu! Your LRA family is behind you all the way! 💙💛👏

LRA and LNA community let's help we're we can even if you just share the post we would truly appreciate it 🙏🙏

Rhandzu also played for LRA at the ages of 12 and 13, and even back then we knew he was destined for something special. His hard work, dedication, and passion for the game have continued to shine through every step of his journey.

This was an amazing experience and valuable exposure for him, and we are incredibly proud of his achievement. We look forward to watching his rugby journey continue to grow! 🔥

He had the amazing opportunity to train alongside senior players such as Devon Williams, Kurt-Lee Arendse, and Canan Moodie, gaining valuable insight into the standards, work ethic, and commitment required to compete in professional rugby at the highest level.
