Schools rugby: Affies aim to climb rankings with Pretoria derby win
Affies will look to climb from fourth in the current schools rugby rankings, as they are the only school in the top seven with a fixture this weekend. The Citizen reports they will host 29th-ranked Pretoria Boys' High School in a derby that headlines a fairly quiet weekend due to exams being written in some schools. It offers somewhat of a breather after last weekend was action-packed, with Paarl Gimnasium suffering their first defeat of the year. It came against local rivals Paarl Boys' High School, who overtook them in the rankings. In the other big derby in Gqeberha, Grey College beat Grey High School 46-15, while in Johannesburg, Jeppe College edged King Edward VII School 39-31. However, this weekend sees two more King Price Schools Derby Series matches. Eighth-ranked Oakdale Agricultural High School host Boland Landbou High School in the Western Cape, while Hoërskool Upington take on Duineveld High School in the Northern Cape, ensuring there is still plenty of action this weekend. Selected fixtures Gauteng Affies vs Pretoria Boys' High School Eastern Cape Dale College vs Selborne College Muir College vs Grey High School Nico Malan vs Brandwag (EP) Graeme College vs Queen's College Bergsig vs Marlow KZN Glenwood vs Maritzburg College Durban High School vs King Edward VII School Noordvaal Parktown Boys' High vs Jeppe College Noordvaal Cup Waterkloof vs Transvalia Rustenburg vs Monument Noordheuwel vs Menlopark Nelspruit vs EG Jansen Zwartkop vs HTS Middelburg Marais Viljoen vs Klerksdorp Middelburg vs Oos-Moot Kempton Park vs Ligbron Lichtenburg vs Pietersburg Die Anker vs Montana Heidelberg vs Secunda Hugenote (Springs) vs Piet Retief Bergsig Agricultural vs Randburg Potchefstroom Volkskool vs Ermelo Potchefstroom Gimnasium vs Eldoraigne Jeugland vs Merensky Western Cape Swartland vs Punt Oakdale vs Boland Landbou Oudtshoorn vs Daniel Pienaar Durbanville vs Outeniqua Tygerberg vs Strand Milnerton vs Stellenberg Parel Vallei vs Melkbosstrand

Phillip does his magic with Zedan Johnson
Phillip does his magic with Zedan Johnson A local businessman created some magic recently. Phillip Basson is a renowned business owner who did magic by giving tickets to a nine-year-old boy, Zedan Alias Johnson, to watch the Springboks vs Georgia at the Mbombela Stadium on July 19. He hoped to meet his favourite rugby hero, Cheslin Kolbe, but was happy to meet the Springboks. Zedan's father, Daniel Johnson, and Phillip have been friends for many years and played several games together for the Pumas in their younger days. Philip was playing hooker, and Daniel flanker. Zedan, with his lightning speed, side steps, and magical goose steps like Cheslin Kolbe, stole the show at the 2025 Craven Week in Middelburg. He and his father visited Phillip at his house in eMalahleni to collect his tickets and to say thank you for the generous, magical gift. His last words to Phillip were, 'I know this school field over the road, I scored a lot of tries there – let's go and play.'
