Culture, Clubs & Cape Flair – Labeeb Levy is Building a WP Legacy!
MW Welman sits down with new Western Province head coach Labeeb Levy in this powerful finale to the Know Your Coach series. Raised in Cape Town’s historic District Six, Labeeb’s journey from grassroots rugby to Currie Cup leadership is the story of a region, a culture, and a man committed to turning challenges into legacy. He reflects on Western Province's multicultural identity, the emotional significance of representing Cape Town, and the distinctive style of rugby he hopes to revive. From coaching junior teams while recovering from injury to earning elite credentials in New Zealand and Australia, Labeeb has always valued rugby’s power to unite, uplift, and educate. In this conversation, he unpacks his squad strategy, his passion for club and varsity rugby, and how he’s creating a coaching environment built on mutual respect, honesty, and adaptive learning. He speaks candidly about the realities of the Currie Cup, the need to make every campaign unforgettable, and why set pieces, skill, and soul still matter in the modern game. Whether you love Western Province or just love a good rugby story — this one’s full of heart, insight, and hope for the future.
