Johannesburg - Former Springbok and Lions wing Aphiwe Dyantyi has revealed that he is focusing on returning to the rugby field in a social media update on Monday.

“A trial & error period in my life,” the post continued, “but two business projects down the line, I wouldn’t change anything about my lofe journey. The support has been both heartwarming & humbling (THANK YOU)
