Previously hit Springbok after the match between South Africa and New Zealand

The story caused a stir in South Africa. Former Springbok center, Grant Esterhuizen (46 – 7 caps), was brutally attacked by two people on Saturday 6 August in Mbombela after South Africa’s victory over New Zealand (26-10).

Passed by ASM Clermont, Goldens Lions, Stormers, Blue Bulls or even Bourgoin-Jallieu, he relied on social networks to tell this particularly painful episode to find his attackers who are still not found to this day. The photos he shared are shocking and show his face completely disfigured from the beating he received.

“I am looking for two not very nice men who spent time on a Saturday night to beat me on the sides and in the back. These individuals belong to the Motorcycle Club in Nelspruit. One is a short man with a beard and short black hair. The other is tall, thin, with a mustache, and was wearing a blue plaid shirt and black. Both wore motorcycle club cuts. Please help me find these criminals and prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future.”

In an interview on Jacaranda FM, Grant Esterhuizen revealed his last memories: “We were outside the club and a guy came up to me and said he wanted to hit me. I turned my back on him and kept talking, and the next thing I got was a big slap on the side. That was the last moment I remember. I’m so clear. When I have a few drinks, I always say I’m a lover and not a fighter. “.

The former player is now trying to recover recordings from CCTV cameras and does not intend to stop there. We wish him recovery after this wave of hate.
