St John’s pays tribute to Joost

HOUGHTON – St John's Prep boys pay tribute to fallen Springbok hero Joost van der Westhuizen.

The schoolchildren of St John’s Preparatory School paid tribute to legendary Springbok Joost van der Westhuizen on 10 February.

Wearing Springbok rugby jerseys, the children went out and collected money for Van der Westhuizen’s J9 Foundation, an organisation that raises awareness about motor neuron disease.

Headmaster of the school, Patrick Lees said, “It was wonderful to see the boys raise awareness and show their respect for Joost and his struggle with motor neuron disease.”
