at our next luncheon…
DATE: Tuesday

TIME: 12H00
for 12h30
VENUE: Buitenverwachting
Restaurant
SPEAKER: Gavin
Rich in conversation with Pieter de Villiers
Throughout his tenure as the first black Springbok coach,
Peter de Villiers was in the news, and not always for the right reasons. His battle to be accepted and respected by
the rugby fraternity started from the moment his appointment was announced. In
his four years as Bok coach, de Villiers experienced huge successes but he also
suffered the ignominy of coming last in the Tri Nations and seeing his World
Cup dream shattered by the controversial officiating of referee Bryce Lawrence.
A personal account of his life and career that is as candid,
honest and forthright as the man himself, in the nature of the man, this is
both a rugby and political book.
Politically Incorrect was written with highly regarded rugby
writer Gavin Rich who won the Sasol Springbok Rugby writer of the Year award in
2010. Gavin was for many years one of
Pieter de Villiers’ harshest critics.
They will be in conversation and will take questions. This promises to be one of our most
fascinating luncheons for many years.
Edgar will be spoiling us with a very special menu which I
will send out in the next few days. As
always Lars will be spoiling us with a glass or two of Buitenverwachting’s
award winning wines. The fully inclusive cost of the luncheon is R225 per person. Menu available on request.
