Kobus Wiese

Kobus Wiese was born on May 16th 1964 in Paarl, matriculating at Paarl Gimnasium. He went on to study further at Paarl Onderwys, and obtained his teaching diploma from Goudstad. He has played rugby for Boland, Western Transvaal and Transvaal (now Gauteng), touring as a Springbok to Australia in 1993, New Zealand, Wales, Scotland and Ireland in 1994, Italy and England in 1995 and Argentina, France and Wales in 1996.

He has 127 caps to his credit, including 19 tests. He was, of course, one of the World Cup Winning Squad in 1995, becoming a national hero overnight.

He was appointed to the Gauteng Lions' captaincy from Francois Pienaar.

Although a fearsome presence on the field, Kobus is a restaurateur and coffee shop owner whose greatest passions are coffee (not surprisingly) and red wine.

Kobus is also a sought-after speaker - using his experiences both on the rugby field as well as in his own extremely successful business - to demonstrate how motivation and team spirit are essential to any kind of success.

He is also a highly recommended bilingual Master of Ceremonies.
