South Africa has produced many great sporting legends, and the late Joost van der Westhuizen was no exception. A brilliant scrum half, despite him being larger than usual scrum halves, standing at 6ft 2 inches, he captained his first international match at the age of 22 against Argentina.
Joost van der Westhuizen was born on the 20th of February 1971 in Pretoria. He was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 2007 and became a member of the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2015.
Joost also set up a charitable organization called “the J9 Foundation” to raise awareness on motor neuron disease after he was diagnosed with the disease in May of 2011.
Joost van der Westhuizen will be remembered as one of the greatest South African rugby players and will be fondly missed by his family, friends and his many fans.

With financial emigration. I understand that your bank account gets closed but with existing investments, can we keep them in SA or does it also need to be closed off and all funds transferred out once financially emigrating? Interested in doing the financial immigration but would prefer keeping our current investments as is. Please advise if this would be affected. Advise on the above will be appreciated before deciding to make the decision of financially emigrating.
