Tim Cocker took to his channel Eggchasers to once again, sing the praises of South Africa and this time, he had us all in tears!
South Africa (19 November 2024) – Tim Cocker of Eggchasers, a rugby commentary YouTube channel, promised to return to South Africa after being here in July 2024 for the Ireland x Springboks matches. He gushed about his time in the country and the praise was extremely well received.
Tim later returned, this time for the New Zealand games in Joburg and Cape Town, where he got to experience some iconic travel moments, spend time with the Boks Office podcast and video cast guys, and experience the power of transformation projects.
One of the stops he made this time around, was at the Grootbos Foundation, which uses rugby as a transformative tool in Gaansbaai.
Tim once again took a moment to sit down and unpack his experience. For those not in the know, South African businesses are mandated to take part in Corporate Social Investment projects to help uplift previously disadvantaged communities. Many big companies do this by forming foundations where they can manage the donated funding and projects, to empower the community directly.
It was this concept Tim got to see in action while staying at the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. For Tim, who found himself choked up a few times through the video, the fact the rugby is being used to make change within entire communities, was deeply moving.
His love of the sport, his newfound love of South Africa and his desire to see change all came together for this moving moment that many of the Good Things Guy readers have sent us since it went live.
Take a look at Tim’s wholesome reaction to seeing transformation in South Africa. Seriously, grab a tissue because this one will get you teary!
