Mahlatse is a Sotho word, which can be used as a name just as some English words can: it means 'good luck' or 'good fortune'.
The Sotho are indigenous people who live in the inland regions of South Africa.
Just for interest, your rugby player is usually known by the odd name of Chiliboy, which he has said was his grandfather's name. What the old gentleman had done to get a name (clearly a nickname!) like that is unfortunately not known.
