hi there, yes i presume it is theo moolman, he was quite a good sprinter, had a few head to heads with him , he lasted about 3/4 years then went to back school i think.. his father was a dentist, he was quite good at his job, he had strong men crying in his chair,,,.. if you see him again, tell him you have spoken to geoff smith..bon courage.

I was a young schoolboy at that time and as a spectator watched you guys on many a night at the Westbourne Oval. Was friends with the Nagel brothers, Alan van Rooyen, Fanie Botha, Petra Strydom. Been living in CPT for 17 years and are very active in cycling (riding and admin). Was in PE for the SA Road champs early June and saw many of the old timers around. Good to hear you are still active. Keep it up!
