It is no secret that Lake Umuzi are proud supporters of the Lions Rugby Union.
In the light of this weekend’s Super Rugby final taking place between the Emirates Lions and Crusaders at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, Lake Umuzi used this opportunity to ask Dillon Smit, who is originally from the Kosmos Country a few questions.
