Legendary golfer Gary Player celebrated his 90th birthday at the weekend by stirring the politics pot, from calling for the government to rethink BEE to punting Julius Malema as the countrys possible president if the EFF leader adopted Nelson Mandelas approach to politics.
Hundreds of sporting greats who included Bok legends Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers, former Proteas Paul Adams and Shaun Pollock, and Bafana Bafanas Mark Fish and Shaun Bartlett gathered to celebrate Players milestone at a black-tie-themed event in Sun City over the weekend.
Dressed in a resplendent cream coat, the nine-time Major championships winner was his energetic self as he took the stage with a dance, delivering an emotional 30-minute speech that was greeted with a standing ovation.
