Thankful.

First commonwealth games done , now even hungrier for more than ever before. The amount of support I’ve received the past few days made me realise that I’m doing this for a cause greater than just myself. My time is not done yet, for where I tried to close doors , He opened them for me. To many more memories in the green and gold 🇿🇦.

Thank you @ugaswimdive, you gave me a home away from home. Now my time here is done and I couldn’t be more thankful for the people I met and the experience I gained. Strangers became brothers , life long friends and mentors. If I had to choose again, I’ll choose this team 1000 times over. These past 3 years have flown by and I will forever cherish every moment I had here.

Also special shout out to the people at SIU who believed and supported me throughout my career.
