| Other information | EDUCATION He was a university student but decided to put his studies on hold while he focused on his swimming for London 2012. "I studied for a while but have put it on hold till after the Olympics as it is difficult to train hard and study. I will resume my studies in administration after the Olympics." (townshiptimes.co.za, 16 Apr 2012; roadtolondon2012.co.za, 27 Apr 2012) FAMILY SUPPORT He gets a lot of support from his family and friends, in both East London and Durban. "I must say, I get a lot of support from my family and, not only from Durban but from my home town of East London. I actually dedicated my 100m backstroke to my ‘oupa' [grandfather] who was diagnosed with cancer about three weeks ago," he said in April 2012.
