Jacques Potgieter finds his biological mom (and sister)

Former Springbok rugby player, Jacques Potgieter took to Instagram saying he’s found his long-lost biological mother.


Former Springbok rugby player, Jacques Potgieter took to Instagram over the weekend with a photo he probably once thought he might never be able to post.

He shared a photo of himself next to an older blonde woman whom he then mentioned is his biological mother. And, by the looks of things, she is the woman he has been searching for, for 35 years.

“After 35 years I finally found my biological mother. There are no words to describe this feeling. #motherandson #blessed #grateful,” he wrote in the caption accompanying a photo of himself with his blue-eyed biological mother.
