About Andre Roux
A recent addition to Joburg’s burgeoning expat population following an education in the quieter shadows of the Western Cape. This writer draws inspiration from the diversity of South Africa and its immense sporting culture. Being unafraid to drink his way through every sports bar in Southern Africa allows him to consider the perspectives of all factions across the republic. His pieces in this blog reflect that attitude.Website:
