Springboks star Vincent Tshituka and his wife, Katlego, have shared the exciting news that they are expecting their first child together. The rugby star becomes the latest South African national rugby union team player to announce a growing family this year.
The announcement arrives just months ahead of the couple’s first wedding anniversary, and also a few days after renewing his contract with the Sharks.
Sharks confirmed on Friday that Tshituka has committed his future to the Durban-based side by signing a new contract that runs until 2029.

He also continues to feature in the plans of Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus ahead of the 2026 Test season, having earned an invitation to the first Boks alignment camp of the year in February.
