When Temba Bavuma was born in May 1990, I was what is now called a Grade 12 learner e Tamsanqa Senior Secondary School, e Seyisi Kwazakhele Township in Port Elizabeth. Now he is 24 and thanks to Quinton De Kocks injury, as we say in isi Xhosa, u konakala kwenye kukulunga kwenye. We are now watching him playing beautifully like an agile gemsbok for the SA side vs West Indies here at St Georges in PE. This boy from Kwa Langa Township in Cape Town went to In and a St Davids Marxist College. ..a posh school, just check the name. With Chichi in tow, we came to support him in his international Test debut as a batsman.I also came because most cricket pundits said if he played today, this match would enter him in the books as a first black specialist batsman to make the grade. I wasnt sure what this meant but Curiosity carried me through to St Georges on a rainy Sunday. The gloomy Chichis face lit but at the sign of the goodies in the VIP suite and we got into the spirit of things. The Brass band with the Makeba, Brenda Fassie and wedding songs made up for a gloomy day. Its Beautiful here, am with a group of rowdy Afrikan er where the love of cricket and Beer is an equaliser.There is one laaitie Willem who just goes Bavuma and he stretches the Bavuma like the roar of a Lion.Yes , its a few days of Cricket. ..The Rainbow comes alive over Dale Steyn. ..nicknamed the Steyn Remover or the Phalaborwa Express, who debuted at 21. This is our country man and we gonna shine like Diamonds and Swim in these deep spaces. Makhaya Ntini, Monde Zondeki, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Mfuneko Ngam and Thami Tsolekile. Boys from Langa, Nana, New Brighton,Ziphunzana or what have you. In a country of more than 52 million people they dont even reach 10, but hey Nkandla city Was never built in one day. We changing this country.bit by bit, brick by brick, everyday and when I shout the name of the Phalaborwa Express over my beer, it doesnt matter who is Oupa or Oupa was, whether they came by the Goede Hoop or Drommedaris, what matters today is that over these few days, we Unite; here at St Georges and Bavuma does not play on the margins of the pitch. Today, he bats from the centre and it feels good to be a South African. With all the controversies surrounding Cricket,be it Majola or Nyoka, Russell Domingo or Haroon Lorgat....Mbaks must support this Game and we must stand by the Proteas cos this is our Country too# On a moedertandFrom Phalaborwa to Patensie
