Proteas captain Temba Bavuma has always been a bit mysterious when it comes to his personal details.

Fans often wonder about the man behind the cricketing talent, including things as simple as his age.

But one thing’s clear—he’s made a huge impact on the field and as a leader.

Celebrating a Special Birthday

This week, Temba celebrated his birthday, turning 34 years old on May 17th.

Born in Langa, Western Cape, he’s come a long way from his roots to become a respected figure in South African cricket.

Despite his growing fame, he keeps his private life pretty low-key.

Early Life and Education

Temba attended South African College Junior School in Newlands and later went to St David’s Marist Inanda, a boys’ high school in Sandton.

His journey from those early days to captaining the national team is inspiring for many young South Africans.

Birthday Wishes From Fans

Although Bavuma kept his birthday post simple, just sharing a “+1” on Instagram, his fans flooded the comments with warm wishes.

From hopeful messages about his cricket career to blessings and personal notes, his followers showed a lot of love.

Some fans wrote:

“Happy birthday, Malume. Soon to be world test champion.
Older and wiser.”
“Happy Happy Birthday Captain!”
“Happy birthday to my captain, may the Lord bless you.”

The Question on Everyone’s Mind

With his 34th birthday marked, many are asking—Is Temba Bavuma still at his peak? With his leadership and skills, fans are eager to see how much longer he’ll continue to shine for the Proteas.
