WATCH: Bryan Habana is chasing a new dream for his sons

Legendary Springbok Bryan Habana sits on the humble concrete stands of a schoolboy rugby stadium.

For a player who is lauded as one of the finest to ever grace a rugby field, he is the embodiment of a boy who once had big dreams and then became the man who lived them. Now, as a father to two young boys, Habana has a new dream he’s chasing.

It’s a dream that will take him back to Loftus Versfeld on 5 March and to a field where he made some of his greatest rugby memories. This time, he’ll be making new memories with his sons at the Vodacom RED Father and Son Campout.

When you live life as fast as Habana in a world of business and a myriad of other commitments, it can all go by in a blur. But Habana believes implicitly in the philosophy that being a good dad means being a dad who is present in his sons’ lives – not just for the memories and the bond this creates, but also for the fatherhood example it sets for his boys.

“In this world of business and of life happening at a rate of knots, I think to #BeThatDad is all about being present,” Habana says.

“There are so many things competing for our attention and keeping us busy that the ability to be present with your kids is incredibly important. Being that dad is all about being present and being an example of a good father. Hopefully, through this example, we can all as fathers raise good boys. It all starts with us as men.”

Habana will join a host of other dads at the Vodacom RED Father and Son Campout who are being intentional about spending time with their boys as they unplug from their roles in the world, and for a weekend become their boys’ whole worlds.
