What you need to know about Cheslin Kolbe
Cheslin Kolbe was born on 28 October 1993 in Kraaifontein, a tough suburb of Cape Town known for its high levels of gang activity. Growing up there, Kolbe once had to run for his life after finding himself caught in a crossfire between rival gangs.
His father, Andrew, also played rugby, representing the local Hands and Heart club as a strong inside centre. However, during the apartheid era, despite his talent, he could not break into professional rugby. Kolbe’s cousin, Wayde van Niekerk, is the world record holder for the men’s 400m and an Olympic gold medalist in 2016. While Kolbe was a national-level hurdler in his youth, he decided to focus on rugby instead of athletics.
As a proud South African national team member and a key player for the Top 14 side Toulouse in France, Kolbe has established himself as one of rugby’s most formidable talents. His rugby journey began at Hoërskool Brackenfell, where his exceptional skill caught the attention of scouts while playing for Western Province in both the Under 16 and 21 teams.
