The most celebrated Springbok Sevens player of his generation, Cecil Afrika, has ended his official Blitzboks journey after 12 seasons of highlights and achievements.
SA Rugby says unless called upon, South Africa's highest points' scorer will Not don the Blitzbok colours again after a mutual agreement between Afrika and Springbok Sevens management.
Afrika, whose contract ends at the end of July, has played 345 matches in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and amassed 1-462 points during that time.
He made his debut in Dubai in 2009 and played in his 66th and final tournament for his country in Vancouver in March.
Afrika was also part of two World Series-winning Blitzbok squads in 2017 and 2018, as well as the South African team that won Commonwealth Games gold in 2014 and Olympic bronze in 2016.
Afrika was born in Port Elizabeth.
