Email Bra Vic 'The Lion' Tau
FLAW: Stubborn, old fashioned, patriarchal "my way or the highway" attitude, can be over emotional
WANTS: To control everything and everybody
NEEDS: To take on board others' feelings and agendas, be less emotional, to become more trusting
Victor Tau is the 50-something visionary founder of Shooting Stars F.C and the father of Ayanda Tau. Victor, or Bra Vic as he is affectionately known, was a legendary former Black Dragons F.C striker who was renowned for his powerful, net bursting shot and lion-hearted approach to the game. Bra Vic was a key player in a star-studded Black Dragons team of the 1970's and 1980's, which swept aside all opposition in cup and league competitions. During his heyday, female groupies and fans alike mobbed him.
During his days at Black Dragons, Bra Vic had a fling with Neo Moloto, the then young secretary of Black Dragons, who he then dumped for Ayanda's mother. Neo was deeply in love with Bra Vic and was crushed after he suddenly dumped her. She attempted suicide but was rushed to hospital and saved. Bra Vic was unaware of the extent of Neo's feelings for him, and was similarly unaware of her hospitalisation.
Soon afterwards, Bra Vic was forced to quit soccer when he suffered a career-ending injury during a match. Vic believed that Neo was somehow to blame for his injury. Neo later left the Black Dragon's camp amidst accusations from Bra Vic's team-mates and staff who believed that she had played a part in his injury. After leaving the Black Dragons, Neo discovered that she was pregnant with Bra Vic's child. Wanting to protect her child and getting back at Bra Vic for the pain he caused her, Neo never told Vic about Zakes, their son.
Bra Vic formally retired from Black Dragons F.C and went into business, using his popularity to set up a string of successful cafes, filling stations and bottle stores. A few years after retiring from Black Dragons, Bra Vic led a mass revolt of Black Dragons players to his newly formed team, which he called Shooting Stars. Shooting Stars quickly became one of the most powerful teams in the league, with a fierce rivalry swiftly developing between Shooting Stars and Black Dragons.
Meanwhile, while Bra Vic was founding Shooting Stars, Neo's hatred for him intensified. Years later, Neo returned to Black Dragons F.C, clawing her way up ruthlessly to become the owner of the Black Dragons, hell-bent on destroying the man she believed should have married her. As Vic's nemesis, Neo is also intent on destroying Bra Vic's beloved Shooting Stars and uses her son Zakes (who is unaware of his paternity) as her right hand man in her attempts to destroy the team.
Bra Vic is a visionary, a philanthropist and the patriarch of Shooting Stars. His major flaw is that for all his forward thinking, he can be old fashioned, stubborn and extremely set in his ways, and is devastated when he learns that he had to hand over ownership of his beloved Shooting Stars to a consortium.
