Bavuma: I can inspire black Africans with century

Wednesday, January 06 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction on Tuesday (5th February) after day four of the second Test as Temba Bavuma becomes first black African to make 100. South Africa declared on 627-7, replying to England's 629.

    "I am born and bred in Cape Town, this is where I learnt my cricket, my passion grew here, so being able to achieve this milestone at my favourite ground in the world makes it a bit more special."

    "There is a lot of satisfaction, just getting that first hundred, I've been yearning for it, fighting for it, so getting that one under the belt makes me look forward to the future ones if they do come. I am not too sure about the reaction of the public, my phone has been off but for me it's just satisfaction and relief."

    "When I made my debut for South Africa I became more aware and realised the significance of it all. It wasn't just about me making my debut, but being a role model and inspiration for other black African kids to aspire to. Achieving this milestone will strengthen that example."
