Local author a hidden jewel in Krugersdorp

Hundreds of people were present at the book launch.

Krugersdorp has its own hidden jewel of a writer, who recently launched his own book.

Professor Gerrie Bester has been a resident of Krugersdorp for the past 32 years. He has taken six months to write and produce his latest book, Virtuous Women – Where have you gone?

The launch coincided with a church service attended by hundreds of people who also waited in queues at the Christian Faith Worship Centre in Noordheuwel to get a signed copy of the book and have a photo or two taken with Gerrie.

People waited in a long row to get a signed copy of the book.

Gerrie started writing many years back, when he felt a burning need in his heart to write and seek the truth.

“The people of Krugersdorp inspired me to write the book as there are so many brokenness around us,” said Gerrie.

His target audience is women although men would also find it very beneficial to read the book to see how a man should love and understand the design of a woman. He is so proud of and grateful for his family, who all helped him produce the book.

Yolandi van Wyk, Claries Nel and Michelle van Wyk attended the book launch.
