Francois Hougaard

In the 3rd episode of Africa Made we chat to one of the most accomplished South African cricket players in the game right now. Wayne Parnell has represented his country at all levels as a bowler. In this illuminating interview he chats to us about his come-up, family, career milestones, building a legacy and his mean fashion game. In his words, “Once you stop playing you want people to remember who you were and what you’re about”

Francois Hougaard is not a typical athlete. Yes, his achievements on the field cannot be questioned; dozens of caps for the Springboks prove that he’s an elite athlete that can go toe to toe with the best in the world. However, what sets him up apart are his ambitions off the field. In the second episode of Africa Made we chat to Francois about his upbringing, his milestones in the game of rugby and his goal of becoming a world-class business mogul.

Many are called but very few are chosen. One could say that Bryan Habana’s call up was not just from his coaches but from God Himself. He is considered one of the greatest South African athletes of all time and one of the virtuosos of the sport of rugby. In our debut episode the globally renowned athlete generously shares his story with the hosts. Always engaged and never lacking enthusiasm, Bryan weaves a beautiful personal narrative of grit, courage and brains. His is a legacy worth preserving.
