He was born in South Africa. Grew up in Canada. Had German parents and never applied for Canadian citizenship. He represented Germany internationally.

Well, technically he is German heritage/nationality (parents), but you’re right that he was born in South Africa. In fact, he grew up in parts of Canada, but never acquired citizenship there, so he represented Germany.

He’s South African, not German. Big difference.
