First person Quote by Dale Steyn

“When you don't have sport, it's like, oh, what do we fall back onto? And I think Nelson Mandela was the first person to really say that: sport unites people in a way that nothing else does. And if you take sport away, then I don't know really what we have.” quote by Dale Steyn — Download Open image
