Johannesburg – Proteas white-ball captain Temba Bavuma has become the latest South African athlete to sign up with international management company Roc Nation Sports.
Bavuma joins fellow Proteas international Lungi Ngidi at the company as well as Springbok captain Siya Kolisi.

He will be represented by Roc Nation Sports across all on and off the field aspects of his career.
“I am at an important phase of my career and I feel it is crucial to have the right people and support for me to achieve my objectives on and off the field,” said Bavuma.
