RASSIE CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY – GETS LOVE FROM DAUGHTER
On Wednesday, Rassie Erasmus was inundated with birthday wishes from the public.
Also posting a tribute was his daughter, Nikki, who thanked her famous father for his love and support.
On her IG Stories, the 23-year-old University of Stellenbosch student posted a collage of pictures of the Springbok coach being a dad to his three daughters.
Despite being a no-nonsense sporting figure, Rassie is a hands-on girl dad to daughters, twins Nikki and Carlie, and a younger Jani.
Earlier this year, the twins praised their dad for his contribution to the country.
Carli said: “He’s truly a hero – there are even people who think he should be president”, while Nikki added: “We’re very proud of him. He’s really achieved something no one else could.”
