In a rainy morning gathering of 800 Capetonians at the Century City Conference City, Rassie Erasmus, the Springbok’s director of rugby, organized a breakfast event in support of the Quadcare Foundation. Erasmus, known for his magnetic charisma and tireless dedication to his craft, has made significant achievements on the field, including the Springboks’ 2019 Rugby World Cup win and the historic Lions Series victory.

The Power of Triumph

Erasmus understands the impact that a world cup triumph can have on a nation. He celebrated the Springboks’ 2019 victory and the immense hope it generated for the people of South Africa. He believes that this hope can be harnessed and transformed into something more enduring, which can lift the spirits of the entire country.

Supporting Philanthropic Causes

Besides his role in sports, Erasmus has proven to be a valuable supporter of philanthropic causes. The Quadcare Foundation was established by Century City Conference Centre CEO Gary Koetser to assist quadriplegics and their families by providing funding for essential services and equipment. The organization was born out of Koetser’s personal experience, as his father suffered a brain injury that left him requiring round-the-clock care for 22 years before his passing in 2011.

Inspiring Hope

Erasmus and Koetser’s determination to make a difference in the lives of both the sports community and those in need is inspiring. Through their efforts, they are helping to create a South Africa that is more unified, resilient, and hopeful for the future.

Emphasizing Teamwork and Collaboration

In his speech, Erasmus emphasized the importance of teamwork and collaboration, highlighting the powerful impact that can be achieved when people work together toward a common goal. He noted how the Springboks team consists of individuals from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their unique strengths and experiences to the table. This message resonates beyond the rugby field.

A Timely Reminder

The Quadcare Foundation event was a timely reminder of the importance of coming together to support those in need and foster hope in challenging times. The example set by Erasmus and Koetser demonstrates that, through determination and collaboration, it is possible to make a positive impact on the lives of others. As South Africa faces many obstacles, the leadership, vision, and hope provided by figures like Erasmus and Koetser are invaluable in helping the nation navigate these challenges and emerge stronger.
