Grey High School in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape made history by renaming its main field “The Kolisi Field” afterFor decades the rugby grounds were previously known as the Philip field. The tribute to Kolisi is the second such by an Eastern Cape school. Recently, Queen’s College renamed its main grandstand after old boy, Kaya Malotana, who was the first black player to represent the Springboks, when he debuted at the Rugby World Cup in 1999.

For the momentous occasion, in conjunction with Grey’s first reunion since the outbreak of COVID-19, Grey College hosted Queen’s College for the last match on the Phillip field. Kolisi, who matriculated from the school in 2009, was a key player in the first team. Kolisi shared his first moments at Grey High.

“It’s something that in my wildest dreams, I never would have thought of. I think coming to Grey alone was a big thing, I remember being in the car with my mom, she couldn’t speak English. I couldn’t. As I came in this school my mother was telling me that I should work hard. And as I came in I had my wildest my wildest dreams when I saw the infrastructure.”“I don’t take this lightly and I know it’s not a light decision and I’m grateful.

The school did not make history but Kolisi did by becoming the first black captain.

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

Is he truly the best to come out of that school? I don't think so but I guess it is because he was captain when we won the world cup I mean not every school can produce a world cup winning captain.

Some months back I had no way of taking care of my kids , had no job or money also struggling through the pandemic,so I decided to try Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I was able to earn $50,000 now am financially stable.

Makes a change from Madiba Field
