Mr. Waleed Baker (CEO of the Pitstop group) spotted Ishma-eel Dollie playing rugby in 1999, immediately recognising the youngsters world-class talent. One day, Waleed surprised Ishma-eel with the offer that Pitstop would sponsor the young rugby player's career.

Ishma-eel is an aspiring rugby player who envisages playing for South Africa's Springboks someday. He has all the winning qualities to achieve his goal.

Recognising the skill and proficiency in Ishma-eel, Waleed took a keen interest in the youngster, subtly monitoring hsi professionalism and commitment to the game. Its was only 4 years after their first encounter that a decision was made to offer Ishma-eel a 3 year sponsorship contract, which includes a brand new car with full service and maintenance, as well as clothing gear which proudly displays the Pitstop name and logos.

Ishma-eel has over the years proved his skills, which became even more refined over time, landing himself a fly half position in the South African under-19 rugby team in 2003, a game in which South Africa won the World Cup final against New Zealand in a match played in Paris, France. In 2004 Ishma-eel was selected vice-captain of the South African under-19 team, where South Africa came third, with New Zealand and France taking first and second positions respectively in a World Cup match hosted in Durban.

When Ishma-eel is not playing for the local Western Province under-20 rugby team, you can spot him at the University of Cape Town campus where he is currently studying towards a BA majoring in Industrial Psychology.

We look forward to seeing Ishma-eel playing in the senior Bok side soon.
