Esterhuizen's Long-Running Ties to KwaZulu-Natal
The Springbok utility back first relocated to Durban in 2013, aged 19, to pursue a professional career with the Sharks. He left the province during 2020 to join English club Harlequins, where he spent four seasons before returning to KwaZulu-Natal in 2024.
He is currently contracted to the Sharks until 2030 and lives in the province with his wife Mabea and their three children.
The decision to build a permanent family residence in Umdloti signals a clear long-term commitment to the region.
Recent Headlines Off the Field
The property announcement comes at a time when Esterhuizen has also been in the news for off-field reasons. A report recently surfaced concerning a racial slur he allegedly made at the age of 18, drawing public attention to the player beyond his rugby career.
No further details on that matter were provided at the time of the home reveal.
