The 13-cap Springbok, and former World Rugby breakthrough player of the year, made his professional return at the end of 2023 after serving a four-year doping ban.

The 29-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Bulls, which will keep him at Loftus Versfeld until June 2026.

      Edwill van der Merwe reflects on his dream Bok debut

      “This feels like a second opportunity,” said Dyantyi.

      “It will be good to be in an environment like the one the Vodacom Bulls have, almost very familiar considering that I was down the highway during the start of my career.

      “I spent over 10 years in Gauteng, so it is familiar territory and this move feels like me coming home. I am closer to family and friends, a support structure that has been so important for me over the years.

      “I hope to enjoy my time with the Loftus family and am thankful for the opportunity Jake (White) and Edgar (Rathbone) have given me.”

      Stormers flanker Xaba has also signed a two-year deal with the URC runners-up, and has set his sights on winning more silverware for the Bulls.

      “This is a privilege for me to come join the most successful union in South Africa,” the 26-year-old said.

      “I am looking forward to a different challenge away from my comfort zone. There is a lot of quality players at the Vodacom Bulls and I want to play alongside them. I also have a wonderful opportunity to be taught by seasoned coaches, I am looking forward to learning from them.

      “I cannot wait to slot into the brand of rugby this club plays and I have hopes of doing my bit to help add more silverware to the Loftus trophy cabinet.”

      In case if you have fallen victim to a scam and want to recover your lost funds, it is advisable to seek guidance from DARKRECOVERYHACKS RECOVERY CORP.

      I received a message on Twitter from an individual who initially showed interest in me and attempted to establish a relationship. Eventually, they started discussing their success with 30-second trades on a particular website.

      They convinced me to invest $32,000 USDT into the platform, which grew to a few hundred more. They then persuaded me to invest an additional $10,000 in ETH, bringing the total to $42,000 on the platform.

      Through completing a weekly task, this amount grew to $370,000. However, when I tried to withdraw some of my profits as the year was ending, I encountered a withdrawal failure. I expressed my concerns to the person who had contacted me, and she advised me to contact the support team for assistance.

      The customer care team informed me that I needed to pay trading fees in order to withdraw my profits. Despite following their instructions and making the payments, the issue remained unresolved. In fact, they continued to demand more money, even after I had already paid over $72,000 in fees alone.

      Frustrated and unable to access my funds, I sought help to verify the legitimacy of the company. That's when I discovered DARKRECOVERYHACKS RECOVERY CORP, which turned out to be a lifesaver in my situation.

      I reached out to them on a Monday morning, and by Thursday afternoon, they had traced and recovered my funds to my wallet. I was truly impressed by their prompt action after filing a complaint and their commitment to help out with my situation, I am eternally grateful for their relentless efforts and actions in making sure I get back whatever I had lost to scammers.

      If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them because I was able to get back my lost funds and they exceeded my expectations with their savvy tech hackers.

      You can contact them via email (DARKRECOVERYHACKS @ GMAIL DOT COM or on Telegram @ DARKRECOVERYHACKS).
