Don't be surprised if you see Manenberg's “dancing” teacher, Mogammed Shukr Hartzenberg, bobbing around with an extra bounce in his step this week, following his brother Suleiman's 50th appearance for the Stormers and a man-of-the-match award, in his side's 34-24 win in a United Rugby Championship match against Cardiff, at Cape Town's DHL Stadium, last Friday.

A rugby family to the bone, the Hartzenbergs are known for their ball-handling skills and fancy footwork on and off the pitch, none more so than Mr H, as he's known to followers of his Cape-flavoured jazzy videos on social media.

But it was younger brother and Stormers wing, Suleiman, 21, who stole the show with moves of his own, on Friday, with two spectacular tries and an all-round impressive performance.

"Excellent, boetie, excellent," Mr H said in a video message to baby bro ahead of the big match.

"You're an amazing player, you're such an inspiration to so many kids out there, whether they are from the Cape Flats or whether they are from Constantia, no matter where they find themselves, irrespective of their background," he said.

"He embraced every opportunity at the different age group levels of rugby, of Western Province rugby.
