Injured: 5 March 2013 aged 22 when playing “koshuis” rugby whilst in his 4th year of Veterinary Science at Onderstepoort.
He now lives with his family in Veldrift after having moved from down from the North West Province. Following his injury, he was forced to change academic direction and studied Genetics and Physiology through Unisa. If that isn’t enough to keep this young man busy, he also tutors high school Mathematics and Physical Science. In his free time, he enjoys reading, music, exercising, and a good braai with friends.
“Faith, hope, and ignorance saved me in the early stages,” Arthur reflects. “They allowed me to face the reality of my injury bit by bit, instead of being crushed by it all at once. The downside was that it took me much longer to let go of what I’d lost and start truly living again.”
