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.”

    CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPAMIES HIRE DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION

    On 05/01/2025, I found myself dealing with a company called Bitcoin Mining Pool, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I initially invested 20,000 Euros with them, hoping to make some returns from their mining operations. At first, everything seemed fine, and I was optimistic about my investment. However, things quickly took a sharp turn for the worse.Without any warning, my account was suddenly locked. I couldn’t understand why, as there were no prior alerts or explanations given. I contacted their customer support multiple times, but all I got were vague answers or, in many cases, no response at all. It became clear that they had no intention of helping. After several frustrating days, I attempted to withdraw my funds, only to be hit with an unexpected demand: they insisted that I pay an additional ransom before I could access my own money. No legitimate reason was provided for this, and there was no way to resolve the situation. It felt like I was being scammed outright, and I had no control over the situation.At that point, I realized that Bitcoin Mining Pool was most likely a fraudulent operation. I reported them to the proper authorities, but I still had no idea how to recover my funds. That’s when I came across DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION during my research on how to recover stolen money. I saw numerous positive reviews from people who had been in similar situations with forex brokers and had successfully regained their funds with the help of DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. Desperate for a solution, I reached out to them.To my amazement, within just 72 hours of contacting DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION, I had all of my money refunded both the original 20,000 Euros and the profits I was rightfully owed. The process was quick, efficient, and professional. I couldn’t believe how fast and effective their service was.I will never trust Bitcoin Mining Pool or any similar company again. It’s clear they were out to scam me, and it’s a shame that such companies exist in the industry. If you’ve been scammed by a forex broker or are dealing with withdrawal issues, I highly recommend contacting DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. This company truly knows what it’s doing, and I am extremely grateful for their help in recovering my funds.
