Orangisers of the first Rugby Africa Media and Photography Awards on Wednesday announced that World-Cup-winning Springbok legend Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira will be on the jury panel.
South Africa’s third-most capped Springbok, joins the panel of past rugby male and female players, and high-ranking senior executives of companies active in Africa, as well as rugby male and female referees.
Rugby Africa General Manager Coralie van Den Berg said: “Tendai is a role model for a lot of Africans, whether they are rugby fans or not, and his presence is a heart-warming accolade to the 39 member countries of Rugby Africa.”
Last year the 35-year-old Zimbabwean-born former South Africa loose-head prop was named in the World Rugby’s Team of the Decade for between 2010 and 2020.
African journalists and photographers are still able to submit their entries into the competition which runs until July 17, 2021.
The winners will be announced on August 18, 2021, where two front-runners will have the opportunity to walk away with USD1,500 in prize money.
