WATCH: I want to be a shining light for Africa, says Beast Mtawarira

The Springbok prop will reach the significant milestone of 100 Test caps this weekend.


Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira will make history on Saturday when he becomes the first black African to win 100 Test caps.

The 32-year-old prop has been lavished with praise for his achievement, which has dominated the build-up to the weekend’s second Test between the Springboks and England in Bloemfontein.

“Those 100 caps will mean nothing if I don’t do my job on the field,” said the humble Mtawarira.

But he’s grateful for all the support.

Here’s what he had to say in an video interview with SuperSport.
