Wayne was born on 30 July 1980 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. He spent his childhood in South Africa and completed his formal education there. Details about his family background remain limited. Wayne attended Grey High School, a well-known institution in the region, and later pursued a degree in Human Resource Management at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.
Wayne began his domestic cricket career in 2006 with a match against South Western Districts. His impressive performance early in his career earned him significant attention. He was subsequently awarded the Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Player of the Tournament in the Under-19 category, recognizing his standout performances at the youth level.
In 2008, Wayne made his debut on the international stage as part of South Africa's Under-19 World Cup team. He delivered a notable performance in the tournament, taking 18 wickets, although the reported economy rate of 8.38 appears unusually high for a bowler and may reflect a scoring error. Following his success, he was selected for both South Africa’s One Day International (ODI) and T20 teams. He became one of the youngest players to sign a professional contract with Cricket South Africa (CSA).
Wayne’s momentum continued into 2009 when he was selected to compete in the ICC World Twenty20. He played a key role in several matches and earned the Man of the Match award in a game against the West Indies, where he took 4 wickets for just 13 runs. His overall performance led to him being awarded the Golden Ball, presented to the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
