Black Springbok captain buried
City Vision
|May 08, 2025
The SA flag was hanging half-mast during the State funeral on Saturday 3 May in honour of the late Norman Mbiko, the first Black Springbok captain from Nyanga, who was laid to rest in the Maitland Cemetery.
Louis Mzomba, his protege and the first Black referee in SA Rugby, appealed to the Western Cape Government to rename the Nyanga Sports Ground after Mbiko as well as one of their team competitions. To him and many others in Nyanga he was more than a coach, but also a father, confidante and mentor.
Teammates, friends and family paid tribute to him as a player, mentor and keeping the youth of Nyanga away from social ills like drugs and gangsterism through rugby.
His eldest daughter Nomizana described her father as a loving father to all his children and how he loved each one in a unique way.
