It has been confirmed that the legendary Sakkie van der Walt will no longer be involved with the Affies 1stXV Rugby Team. Sakkie van der Walt was involved as coach for 17 years and as team manager during the 2015 & 16 seasons.
His partnership with Carel Kriek was legendary, and was instrumental in establishing Affies as one of the leading rugby schools in South Africa. His record as coach at Affies reflects how much he will be missed. Games 398 Won 330 Lost 60 and Drew 8 with a winning percentage of 83%.
Sakkie vd Walt will remain at Affies and his increasing work load is given as the main reason for this decision.
Sakkie as an old Affie parent thank you for all you have done for our boys and Affies. Well done sir.
