Ngidi’s rise to the Proteas team is an inspirational new South Africa tale. The recently-crowned Proteas T20 and ODI Player of the Year parents were both cleaners at Kloof Junior Primary School prior to his father’s passing in 2018 shortly after his Test debut.
Ngidi realises he is part of the fortunate minority to have received a scholarship to the prestigious Hilton College in Pietermaritzburg that enabled him to fulfil his potential. He therefore hopes that the current spotlight on equality will be able to help others in the future. “Life is hard, lots of people encounter challenges, and you will not understand fully until you've actually been in their shoes. Don't ever let anyone look down on you because you are in a different situation to them. I don't believe that there is any one human that is better than another. I do believe we all have our own talents and we can achieve in our regards to what we want to achieve,” he said.
“I don't believe we should compare ourselves to others because certain people are afforded opportunities others never get. Life is different for all of us. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. It's been a rough 2020 for everyone. Let's be sympathetic. Let's help where we can. Just lend a helping hand where you can. My mom always says the hand that gives is the hand that receives.
