Eben Etzebeth, the most capped player in South Africa's national rugby team, will be releasing a book in October about his life.
He announced on social media that the book, titled "Unlocked" in English and "Ten Slotte" in Afrikaans, will reflect on the highs and lows, lessons learned, people encountered, and the moments that have shaped him both on and off the field.
The 33-year-old lock, who played a key role in the Springboks' World Cup-winning squads, shared the book cover on Instagram, stating: "Unlocked tells my story, from growing up in Goodwood to my aspirations, the challenges I’ve faced, and what it really took to wear the green and gold. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me, this one is for you."
Etzebeth's book can be pre-ordered from retailers such as Takealot, Exclusive Books, Wordsworth, Readers Warehouse, Loot, and other major outlets.
