The ailing former Springbok captain’s legal team is set to appear in the Pretoria High Court on Tuesday, when they will appeal that the book be vetoed. They will argue that the stress caused by this revealing look into their client’s personal life will worsen the effects of the motor neuron disease (MND) he suffers from.
Written by entertainment journalist Gavin Prins with the working title, ‘Joost and Amor -agter die skerms (behind the scenes)’, the book is understood to be a chronicle of the couple’s troubled relationship, which hit rock bottom last year when their private life turned into a very public affair the local media fervently reported on.
And Channel24 reports that, apart from salacious details about Joost’s “wondering eye”, the book will also provide startling details about “Amor’s penchant for farting loudly”.
However, despite Joost’s desperate attempts to stop the book from being published, Prins apparently claims in the introduction that he “helped to confirm facts during the writing process and Amor gave her blessing”.
