Family & Rugby

Seventeen‑year‑old Dumisani is a talented young rugby player with dreams bigger than his hometown. He lives in a township and wants to play the sport he loves on a bigger stage. His family supports him, especially his older brother Yongi. But one day everything changes.

Yongi is part of a local gang and chooses to save their mother, Lulekwa, during a robbery. His sacrifice leaves Dumisani alone and filled with grief. Soon, the pressure from Yongi’s old friends and gang life pulls Dumisani in too, and he must make hard choices. He loves rugby, but the streets are dangerous and always close by.

At home, his father, Wawa, was once a rugby star himself. Wawa tries to guide Dumisani, but his own past and regrets weigh heavily. Dumisani’s girlfriend, Babalwa, stands by him with love. As he navigates danger, loyalty and loss, he learns what truly matters. He faces tests from the gang and from life itself.

Through training sessions, family moments and tense encounters, Dumisani fights to keep his dream alive. He learns that talent is not enough; it takes strength, belief and support to rise above hard times. He wants to honor his brother’s memory and build a new path.
