Temba Bavuma was born and raised in Langa. He was born in the same street where the cricketers like Thami Tsolekile and Malusi Siboto were born and used to play street cricket with them.

He was also included in South Africa's T20I squad when South Africa toured India in October 2019. He made a decent 49 in his debut test but made sure he see his side home in the final T20 and South Africa finally managed to level the T20I series. During Mzansi Super League 2019, he was made the captain of the Jozi Stars team and this will be his first stint as a captain of any side.
