Who Is Makazoli Mapimpi, Really?
Before we get too caught up in the drama of his personal life, let’s take a moment to appreciate Makazoli Mapimpi’s incredible journey. Born and raised in the remote Tsholomnqa village in Mdantsane, East London, Mapimpi’s path to becoming a Springbok star wasn’t easy. Unlike many of his teammates, he didn’t attend a prestigious rugby school. Instead, he faced significant challenges growing up.
Raised by his grandmother after the tragic deaths of his mother, brother, and sister, Mapimpi’s early life was marked by hardship. Despite these obstacles, he found solace in rugby, playing for local teams that were far from the radar of regional scouts. His big break came when he joined the Border Bulldogs Under-19 squad. Even then, his journey wasn’t smooth sailing. The team struggled with frequent losses, and Mapimpi faced a tough start to his professional career. But perseverance paid off, and today, he’s a beloved figure in the rugby world.

RYOBI Africa stepped in to upgrade the school, fulfilling a promise to revamp the facilities that had fallen into disrepair over the years.
Mike Sharman of RYOBI Africa highlighted their commitment, saying they were determined to improve the conditions at Mapimpi’s alma mater. Thanks to their efforts, the school now stands as a testament to the power of giving back and the importance of supporting the next generation of leaders. It’s a story that reminds us all of the ripple effect one person’s success can have on their community.
