‘IT’S FOR SOUTH AFRICA’
Malcolm Marx reacted to the win by dedicating it to his team and country.
He said: “None of this is achieved without the team environment we have, without the management, without the players.
“We are a tight-knit group, and things like this happen when you have a group like we have.
He added: “In my opinion, this isn’t just for me an individual award, I think it’s more a team award because the support and the structures that we have for guys to express themselves is unbelievable.
“It’s not just for me, it’s for our team, it’s for South Africa.”
