Joost van der Westhuizen rushed to hospital
The Bok legend has been battling motor neuron disease for more than five years.
Former springbok scrum half Joost van der Westhuizen was rushed to hospital on Saturday morning and is in a critical condition, reports The Citizen.
Van der Westhuizen was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 2011.
His J9 Foundation asked on Facebook on Saturday for people to pray for Van der Westhuizen.
His foundation wrote: “The family and friends of Joost ask that you all pray for Joost. He was taken to hospital earlier today and is in a critical condition.”
“We ask that you all please respect the families’ time at the moment. When we have updates we will let you know for now we ask that we all bow our heads in prayer.”
