Danzyl Bruwer

Danzyl Bruwer (born 5 November 1976) is a Namibian retired footballer formerly with Ajax Cape Town FC in the Premier Soccer League of South Africa.

Club career Born in Khomasdal, Windhoek, Bruwer started playing football for local side Young Ones, quickly replacing the regular goalkeeper Reus Nortje between the sticks. He moved abroad to play for South African second-tier outfit Avendale Athletico, then joined fellow Namibian internationals Richard Gariseb and Paulus Shipanga at top tier Wits University. He later moved to Ajax Cape Town.

Doping charges In December 2008, Bruwer tested positive for use of an illegal substance. Bruwer did not return to the club to defend himself of the charge, and instead remained in Namibia. Ajax Cape Town then terminated his contract, which had two years remaining on it at the time.

International career A Namibia international, Bruwer was included in the squad in the 1998 African Cup of Nations. He made his debut for the Brave Warriors in a November 1997 friendly match against Lesotho and totalled 28 games for them.

Personal life After retiring as a player, Bruwer worked as a radio presenter and is the owner of New Season Investment.
