Thank you Kaya for enduring the inequalities of the systems here and for shining the light of truth intelligently, authentically and with humility. I am now a great fan.

What a great story and a great man, well done Kaya. Sadly for Kaya, he was a Bok 20 years too soon but a Trailblazer he was which helped to unlock the path for others to follow. I've always said rugby is a culture and Kaya understands that. You can't fast-track that experience and we are now seen the fruits of that more and more at the top of our game.

Thanks Gareth. Glad you enjoyed it. Kaya was the pioneer who paved the way for future superstars. Sadly he does not get the recognition but I'm hopeful that with this interview now being online forever, in time to come, he will get more credit. Really glad I could get him on the show!

@@frontrowrugby absolutely Peter and look at the path he has pioneered and hopefully more and more people will recognise and acknowledge the challenges he endured. Also wonderful to hear the mentorship he received from his father. We have so much diversity in culture in SA and it's wonderful how this great game can unify us as one.

I always wondered what happened to his rugby career. I remember him being selected and then wondering why we didn't see more of him on the field. Injury robs us of a lot of talented players. Thanks for the stories. I watch almost all of these interviews and this one was great! Cheers!

Absolutely brilliant interview. I was living overseas when he played so unfortunately I never saw him play. I am absolutely blown away by him, his wisdom and knowledge of the game. 🇿🇦

What a lovely, considered bloke Kaya seems, and so interesting. I attended the '99 RWC 🇿🇦 v 🏴 game at Murrayfield, and though it was v exciting for me, I do remember being disappointed that that day's host team vs THE World Champions didn't get a sell out crowd (& 🏴 is my second team after the boks)! P.S. just in case he sees this, my eternal thanks to the SA gentlemen who gave me a ticket, that turned out to be prime in the middle of the pitch, about 2 rows back from the royal box! Couldn't believe my luck AND he wouldn't accept a penny from the extremely wet behind the ears 1st year student I was! Sincerely hope your friend was ok in the end.

Nice interview Peter- Kaya seems like a nice guy! There must have been no atmosphere in Scotland in 1999- every bok you've had on your show said the same thing!

Thanks Sean. Yeah Kaya is a very nice person. I've known him a while and really glad he had a gap to come be on the show. Scotland 99 clearly was the pits!

The prank call story had me in stitches 😂...how times have changed thankfully with "token " players a thing of the past. You need to get Henry Honibal on for a chat

Yes, that was very funny. If only there were recordings of those calls! You can just imagine.
