Bergh says he wants to inspire learners to lead a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
“My parents showed me the importance of balancing sport, academics and leadership, so I know what a difference it makes to have balance in your life,” he says.
Bergh supports Friends of Child Protection, a registered charity organisation that assists the South African Police Service (SAPS) and its family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit (FCS). He will raise awareness and funds for the charity through this tour.
The 24-year-old
Mr South Africa 2011 is a phenomenon. At school in Bela Bela he won provincial colours in six sporting disciplines – cricket, rugby, golf, tennis, cross-country running and biathlons. Until recently he was part of the Blues Bulls squad that played in the Vodacom Cup and is on the under-23 Limpopo golf team. Last year he obtained a degree in quantity surveying from the University of Pretoria and is now studying for a BSc honours degree. He combines experiences from his travels, sporting achievements and academics into the movement called Balanced 24/7, on which his motivational talks are based.
