@SeanLarkan Ай бұрын
These types of speeches are usually packaged, boring affairs; this was different on so many levels, the real Rassie shone through and gave us all such an insight into what makes him tick & the human he is. So good for RSA & rugby in SA to have such a legitimate leader playing such a role!
@nikimoore Ай бұрын
It just goes to show that genius comes in many different ways. Rassie represents the best of us all - he knows what he is good at and what he is not good at, and he accepts it with good humour and grace. Thank you, NWU, for showing non-academic people that life is about achievement, not a piece of paper.
