Many know him simply as Kwagga Smith but most are unaware that Kwagga was not his given name. it manifested thanks to an older brother who thought that “Zebra” would fit his kid brother Albertus Stephanus Smith. The name has since stuck.
His rugby career didn’t start on a grand note. In fact, he was noted to have lacked discipline at the outset which temporarily hampered his growth. But then he realised that he would only make it to the top of the game if he was disciplined and committed.
