Devon "The Spartan" Petersen, born in Mitchells Plain, is dazzling the international darts scene - not only with his ability to hit the bull's-eye, but also with his crowd-pleasing dance moves. As Africa's top-ranked professional darts player, he was recently chosen to compete in this year's World Series of Darts finals at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, in November.While many at home would walk past Petersen without batting an eye, the 29-year-old is a celebrity in the UK and Europe, where he has been taking part in tournaments since 2011.There he is stopped regularly in the street and asked for his autograph.Only 24 players from across the world are hand-picked to compete in the finals. Petersen will be in the company of dart legends such as Phil "The Power" Taylor, the sport's top earner, who has pocketed more than £6-million in prize money."Darts is not big in South Africa, or even considered to be a sport, but it is massive overseas," said Petersen this week before boarding a flight to the UK."It has grown to become one of the most watched sports on TV in the UK and Europe, second only to the British Premier League."On January 1 last year, it actually surpassed the British soccer league - according to Sky Sports, 960,000 viewers tuned in to watch the Professional Darts Corporation final, 100,000 more than the Southampton versus Chelsea game.Petersen, who led South Africa to the quarter-finals of the World Cup of Darts last year, is so popular that his main sponsor, international darts manufacturer Unicorn, has named a dart after him. The Devon Dart is sold across the world, also in South Africa.At the previous world championship, Petersen reached the last 16. His signature walk-on dance moves to the tune of Shakira's Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) wowed the crowd."My fans even send me clips of them performing my dance moves at Disneyland in America!"Petersen spends six months touring the darts circuit overseas; the rest of the year he works as a financial planner.He also runs Big House Recording Studios, working with artists such as rapper Cassper Nyovest, singer Jeremy Loops and band GoodLuck...
