Adriaan Kruger

Injured: 27 September 1990, aged 17, while playing lock when he sustained a C5 complete spinal cord injury. Despite the challenges that followed, he has built a life marked by dedication and quiet determination. For the past 12 years, Adriaan has worked for Foskor, where he was proudly awarded a 10-year certificate recognising his exceptional devotion and outstanding service. As the switchboard operator, he confidently manages the communications desk and is a valued member of the team. Outside of work, Adriaan pursues the hobbies that bring him joy — from developing websites and watching movies to nurturing his impressive small car collection. One of his biggest dreams is to restart his plant business, called Rosy Adeniums which imports and grows plants such as succulents and Impala lilies, that has been hybridized to look like roses. www.rosyadeniums.co.za.
