When 21-year-old student Zahraa Hendricks joined UCT earlier this year, she probably didn't expect to become famous for something that she wore every day.
But, after a photograph of her playing rugby in hijab went viral on social media, she soon became the talk of the town.
The first-year media studies student says she has loved rugby since she was a little girl.
She recently made it onto the university's women's team, the Ikey Swifts.
