He has made himself at home, posting various videos on social media of his time in the Mother City, where he seems to be enjoying the many sights it has to offer.
Before watching South Africa take on the world champions, Anderson got the chance to see the fancies Jamaicans go head-to-head against Caribbean rivals Trinidad and Tobago.
Anderson said he has been in the country for a little more over a month, enjoying and immersing himself in the culture.
“All of the a sudden, I hear there is a Netball World Cup.
“I am watching Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica play. Then South Africa play New Zealand, so you know ... I am just a kid from Cape Town, so I’ve come to represent,” Anderson told reporters.
“I don’t know anything about Netball. All I know is that it’s played by women and it’s basketball without a backboard, so I am coming to learn about the game while I am here,“ he added.
