Biography

Zimerman grew up in Jansenville and studied law at the University of Cape Town after school. During his student years he played provincial rugby for Western Province and after completing his studies he moved to Johannesburg, where he played for Transvaal.

Zimerman was the first Jew to represent South Africa in rugby union, when he debuted on 5 December 1931.[2] He played in three further tests for South Africa and also in fourteen tour matches, in which he scored thirteen tries.[1][3]

After his playing days he became involved in rugby administration and became the convenor of the SA Selection Committee. He was the cousin of Louis Babrow, another Jewish Springbok.[4]
