The DA extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Bevin Fortuin who passed away yesterday, 11 September, aged 46.
Bevin, a son of Blanco, had a deep-rooted love for his community. He fulfilled many roles including rugby coach and mentor. He was passionate about developing future sport stars and was a symbol of inspiration to the community of Blanco.
In his playing days, he represented SWD Eagles, the Cheetahs and also earned two Springbok caps in 2006 and 2007.
His involvement was not limited to rugby. In 2011, he was elected as a DA councillor in George and he always lent his voice to issues affecting the community.
We extend our sincerest condolences to Bevin’s wife, son, loved ones and the Blanco community.
