At the Wynberg Boys' Schools we afford the title of Old Faithfuls to our Wynberg Men who began their school journey at Wynberg Boys' Junior and complete matric at Wynberg Boys' High; Jacques, who matriculated in 1993, is one such Old Boy - a composite sportsman whose passion and loyalty to his alma mater continues unabated. It is with great pleasure, and with a pride shared by our brothers in an endless chain, that he now adds The Order of Ikhamanga to his already impressive list of achievements. Congratulations, a well deserved honour indeed!

In 2015, on Jacques' retirement, the Cape Argus ran a tribute to 'South Africa's Best All-Rounder - read the online version.
