The former Griquas, Freestate and Junior Springbok tighthead prop was murdered on his farm just outside of Bloemfontein over the weekend.
He was probably the best tighthead prop of his generation. I scrummed against him in the early to mid 90's. Was the toughest bastard.
RIP Piet!
Nag Ou Groote!

The killer was a murderer and Bester gave him a second chance, thought he could rehabilitate him.

Ah Jesus, what a tragedy. It's one of the supreme cruelties of life that well intentioned people can suffer at the hands of people they are trying to help.
