Gone, but not forgotten: Joost's son shares sweet tribute

The son of the late Springbok Joost van der Westhuizen paid a touching tribute to his famous father at the Loftus Versfeld stadium last weekend. Jordan, whose mother is Amor Vittone, was a teen when the rugby player died in 2017 of motor neurone disease. The now 21-year-old is a model and rising soccer star. Last weekend, Loftus was alight with excitement for the Bulls vs Sharks URC semi-final. Jordan, representing his famous father, donned a Bulls shirt in memory of his dad's home club. The young man, who bears a striking resemblance to his dad, showed off the words 'Dad, Joost' printed across the back. The sweet tribute acknowledged Joost's home at Loftus and the number 9, which was his jersey number for both the Pretoria club and the Springboks. Jordan's mom, Amor, posted the pictures on Facebook, liking comments from her followers who claimed that Joost would be 'proud' of his son. At the time of his death in 2017, Amor and Joost were separated after 15 years of marriage. The couple also have a daughter, 18-year-old Kylie. Jordan and friends at Loftus Versfeld Stadium tonight ❤️ #rugbyleague #Loftus #game #bullsrugby Posted by Amor Vittone on Saturday 7 June 2025 The son of the late Springbok and Bulls player, Jordan van der Westhuizen, is pursuing his own path in sports. But unlike rugby legend Joost, the 21-year-old has taken up soccer. Having previously played for the Valencia youth academy as a goalkeeper, Jordan later joined the UK's Reading Academy. And he's one step closer to his goal. According to Amor Vittone, Jordan is keen to one day play for his dream club, Liverpool. Apart from his love of soccer, Jordan is also a professional model, and he has signed up with the Ice Model Agency.

WATCH: Mamelodi Sundowns, DJ Khaled light up Times Square

Mamelodi Sundowns have received another unique 'welcome' in the United States, where they will participate in the Club World Cup – and make history – as the sole South African representative. Earlier this week, Mamelodi Sundowns first received a welcome message from one of their most famous supporters, music mogul DJ Khaled, just as the club touched down in the USA for their Club World Cup campaign. In a video shared this week by Roc Nation Sports International, the consultancy partner to Sundowns, the renowned American artist warmly welcomed Mamelodi Sundowns to the USA. Now, as part of the team's continued high-profile activations ahead of their Club World Cup fixtures, DJ Khaled also spearheads another special video that plays four times an hour, every hour, for the next 24 hours in the heart of Times Square. The digital message board can be found in one of the most iconic hot spots in America, and a special reveal is planned for certain Sundowns representatives in New York as Masandawana continue their journey towards their opening Club World Cup fixture next week. Sundowns have already settled into their Bradenton base in Florida ahead of their first Club World Cup game against Ulsan FC next week, which will be followed by further group games against Borussia Dortmund and Fluminese. As a global connector, this latest display of allegiance from DJ Khaled is another testament to the award-winning artist's undeniable affection for Mamelodi Sundowns, adding to a long line of previous examples of his support for the club. How you do you think the club will perform at the tournament? Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Through an unexpected friendship, unkempt cats, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul, Ove finds his world transformed.
