Leader of the GOOD Party, Patricia De Lille says the decision by former Springbok Rugby coach, Peter De Villiers to support her party will be beneficial for its youth programmes.
De Villiers coached the country’s national rugby team from 2008 to 2011.
He is the latest public figure to throw his support behind the GOOD Party.
South Africans go to the polls on May 8.
De Lille says De Villiers is a good role model to have within the party.
She says: “It certainly means a lot especially for our young people. We are looking for role models so that our young people can aspire to become like him. He was the first coach of colour for the Springboks and that he is going to throw his weight in assisting with training young people, motivating them to take charge of their own lives.”
