If you would like to know the story behind the story of Joost and Amor read on and enter to win this book.
The celebrated Springbok rugby hero Joost van der Westhuizen and his wife, the singer Amor Vittone, were a glamorous couple who captured the imagination of many South Africans. Known as their country’s own ‘Posh and Becks’, they were blessed with success, fame, public adulation and an apparently happy marriage. Until a shock report appeared on the front page of a local Sunday newspaper about a sex video …
Except from the book:
When I walked into the kykNET building on the Monday morning after the Joost story broke, Loui and Eagan were already sitting in the makeup room, eating sandwiches.
Both wanted to know everything about the sex video. Then Annemarie pitched up, followed by Caroline. Christo arrived later.
During the production meeting, which we held in the make-up studio,Christo looked at me and then at Loui: ‘Isn’t it amazing how friends stab each other in the back? Would you put me on the front page of a newspaper if I was in a sex video?’
The remark was clearly aimed at me.
