A CHAT WITH ETHAN HOOKER:

It’s been a season of triumphs and setbacks for Ethan Hooker. The 21-year-old Hollywoodbets Sharks centre injured himself during the 21 September VURC Benetton game, and was out of the game for four to five weeks. During those weeks, all he could do was focus on his rehab and look forward to the day he could step back onto the field.

That day is almost here. Ethan will be back playing in the Hollywoodbets Sharks vs DHL Stormers game on 30 November, and it’s going to be a big one. 

Despite a bit of a shaky start to the VURC, the Hollywoodbets Sharks have found their footing – especially in the last two games against the Glasgow Warriors and Munster Rugby. “It really brought out who we are as a team, and I think we can work off something like that. I think we’re capable of a lot more than what we just did in those last two games, and I think we’re going a lot higher than those two games,” Ethan tells us in an exclusive interview. 

“In those moments where things get very tough and the heat is hitting you, it’s very important that you have a strong leadership group and strong teammates around you that keep you going,” he adds. “We’re in this position because we want to be here, not because we have to be here.”

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Provincial Government – The KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial government sits in the legislative buildings in Pietermaritzburg. The site where the legislative buildings are situated was occupied by St Mary’s Church, which was built in the 1860s. A new church was built at the corner of Burger Street and Commercial Road, and opened in 1884. The old building was demolished in 1887 to provide space for the legislative complex. The foundation stone of the new legislative building was laid on 21 June 1887, to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. The building was completed two years later. On 25 April 1889, the Governor of Natal, Sir Arthur Havelock, opened the first Legislative Council session in the new building. When governance was granted to Natal in 1893, the new Legislative Assembly took over the chamber that was used by the Legislative Council since 1889. Further extensions to the parliamentary building were made. The building was unoccupied until 1902, when it was used without being officially opened, due to the fact that the country was engulfed in the Anglo-Boer war. The war also affected the Legislative Assembly, which had to move the venue of its sittings when the chamber was used as a military hospital.
