In the world of rugby, Manie Libbok’s steadfast spirit and strength make him a key player in professional rugby.

What Rassie had to say about Manie in Chasing the Sun2; Ep 1, when choosing the 2023 World Cup Springbok squad:

“When we select our squad, we first select the warriors. That’s what we love about Manie Libbok—that throughout his hardship, he didn’t give up, even when others didn’t rate or recognise him. His ability to move the ball, his hand speed, his identification of space, and how he brings other players into the game all changes the way the Springboks play. We wanted the guys that weren’t afraid to fire the shots, and Manie isn’t afraid to do that.”

He played in the 2023 Rugby World Cup and is currently playing for the Stormers. His performance levels stepped up, earning him the URC fan player of the year as well as the Newcomer of the Year award. He is engaged to his “day one” woman, Verna-Lee Arries. They are tying the knot later this year.

“I’ve always been passionate about optimising performance and recovery. When I discovered First Choice HP and learned about its high-quality ingredients and proven benefits, I was immediately drawn to the opportunity to represent a product that aligns so closely with my values and goals as an athlete.”

From humble beginnings, he carved his path with talent and determination, never forgetting his roots or the people who shaped him. That’s why Manie and HP are the perfect fit: to use what you have and push past your limits to achieve greatness. HP is a specially formulated milk, full of high-quality protein and nutrients, just the right fuel for a high-performance person like Manie.

Focused on the game during a match and fans after it. That’s how Manie embodies the spirit of rugby. As much as he loves doing what he does best, playing rugby, he prioritises time with his fans. If you’re a fan, you might be curious about Manie’s favourite HP flavours. They are Banana Cremé, Peanut Butter and Chocolate mint.

Manie teams up with HP, a winning combination


It’s a pleasure to welcome and collaborate with Manie Libbok as we continue to grow the HP brand presence in South Africa. Manie’s resilience, dedication, and unwavering drive for achievement and performance make him the perfect partner to share our trusted formula for reaching the best possible recovery.

Our partnership is all about empowering consumers to get the most out of their workouts, supporting both professional and amateur athletes with their recovery, enabling them to achieve the highest level of physical fitness.


“By partnering with HP, I can not only enhance my own training programme but also
promote a product that reflects my commitment to excellence and empowers others
to take their fitness and recovery to the next level.”

Through collaborations like this and sharing knowledge, HP hopes to inspire and
change the way people think about recovery.

These convenient protein shakes are super awesome after a workout or any time during the day when you’re wanting a guilt free snack. I buy them every day from Checkers. Super Cool!

Absolutely delicious and only 211kcal per serving with 21g of protein! I’d say it’s the best treat I could find especially if you have a sweet tooth and want to meet protein macros.

The Peanut Butter High-Protein Milk is our favorite flavour. Creamy, thick and delicious, a great midday snack. Gives you a boost of energy and helps get your protein in for the day. We love it after a workout.
