True to his word, Joost van der Westhuizen appeared at two CNA stores in Gauteng to sign books. The Pretoria News caught up with him at the Menyln Park branch:
Marinus Pretorius, 20, said he could not wait to start reading Van der Westhuizen’s biography, Joost, The Man in the Mirror. “My father is reading it at the moment, but as soon as he puts it down, I am grabbing it.”
Pretorius said no matter what Van der Westhuizen had done, he still remained his loyal fan.“Joost has been my hero since I was 12. I never liked rugby, but he made me love the sport. I cannot tell you why I like him. I just like him. It’s like Naas (Botha). I simply just like them.”
