Funeral arrangements for Anton Rupert announced

Funeral arrangements for South Africa’s top entrepreneur Anton Rupert have been announced. Rupert died at his Stellenbosch home at the age of 89 on Wednesday night. Dr Rupert will be laid to rest in a private cemetery next to his wife Huberte who died in October last year and where his son Anthonij also rests. A service will be held in the NG Mother Church in Stellenbosch at three o’clock on Wednesday. Former president Nelson Mandela was one of the many statesmen who paid tribute to Rupert, saying he had served his country and had lived a full life. He added the poignant words: Mooi loop Anton.
