Meet Tendai Mtawarira & François Pienaar Tackling Inequality Through Education and Sport
World Cup-winning rugby legends Tendai “The Beast” Mtawarira and François Pienaar know the power of sport but they’ve taken it further. Through their organisations, the Beast Foundation and Make a Difference Leadership Foundation, they work to give young South Africans access to quality education, leadership training, and real opportunity.
For both men, the fight for education is personal and it’s how nations rebuild.
