Brian Mujati (born (28 September 1984 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean-born South African rugby union player for Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership. He plays as a prop.
He started of his career with the Lions in the Super 14 competition, then he joined the Stormers for the start of the 2008 season before joining the Saints. He went to Peterhouse Group of Boarding Schools in Marondera in Zimbabwe, along with the Sharks and newly capped Springbok Tendai Mtawarira. Mujati's selection has caused a lot of criticism as he was selected ahead of in form tight head prop BJ Botha.
From the start of his Northampton Saints career, Mujati has been a firm favourite with the Franklins Garden crowds. Much of this admiration is down to his commitment and tireless work ethic on the pitch. Proof of this can be found on any match day when Mujati gets the ball and cries of "Mooooooooj!!!!" ring around the stadium. This fan response was born over the course of the 2010-11 season and was championed in the local media and via social network, Twitter, by none other than the clubs's captain Dylan Hartley
Away from the rugby pitch Brian has proved himself to be a more than capable blogger with his entries on Ruggavibe. The blog charts his thoughts and feelings as he makes the transition from a barman in Zimbabwe, then a Springbok in South Africa, and now a world class rugby player for Northampton Saints.
