Tendai Mtawarira; AKA ‘Beast’ is hailed as one of the legendary rugby players to represent South Africa and the Springboks. He is also the most capped Super Rugby player in South Africa with 159 caps for the Sharks. He retired as the most capped prop for South Africa along with the 2019 Rugby World Cup title to his name.
He is now the cover star of GQ Magazine for the July wealth issue.
Inside the issue, the Beast talks about his sports legacy, life passions, and future career moves and collaborations.
The former rugby start has made various career moves after announcing his retirement as a ruby player. He is now part of projects and collaborations that explore more of his interests such as home design and home décor. He has recently been announced as the ambassador of the premium home and kitchen appliance brand, AEG.
AEG say that “The Beast exemplifies our core brand values and focus for the country in his professional and at-home lifestyle…We’re thrilled to have him as one of our Africa ambassadors,”
He has also expressed how proud he is to be associated with a brand that aligns with his values and beliefs.
“I’m especially proud to be associated with a business that is always an idea ahead, thriving upon innovations that give you the ultimate feeling of mastery, so you can achieve results that don’t just meet your standards, but exceed them.”
As one of his many interesting projects, the Beast remodeled his home kitchen to include some of the latest innovations that AEG has to offer to the market.
Since retiring from professional rugby, the multi-award-winning athlete, successful businessman, and devoted father of two enjoys being able to spend more time at home with his family.
The rugby star is really excited about what the future has in store for him and cannot wait for us to see it!
HIS REFLECTIONS ON HIS RUGBY CAREER
“I’m blessed to have had a long and prosperous career with the Springboks and the Sharks, and there were many special moments I’m extremely proud of,” he says of his rugby history.
“If I had to pick a few highlights, they’d include playing my 159th game in 2019 against the Lions in Joburg, when I became the most-capped South African player ever in the competition. To play for that long and consistently… I took a moment to take it all in, the gravity of my achievement, the barriers I’d broken and how I’d paved the way for future rugby stars.”

He has achieved on and off the field and continue to inspire us as men to work hard on what we believe in and still remain committed to family and our loved ones.
Indeed The Beast will go into the history books of #SARugby as one of the finest players to play for the Springboks. The ROC Nation managed athlete who is a 2019 Rugby World Cup Winner with 117 caps and is the 17th most capped international forward of all time and the 5th most capped prop of all time. A good businessman who runs his own Security company is one of the Best to ever don the green and gold blazers awarded to members of the South Africa national rugby union team.
