Ryk Neethling on Evergreen: Retirement on the 'Life Right model'

Loading player...
Olympic swimming gold medalist Ryk Neethling now finds himself in the vineyards caught between Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Paarl. He's the marketing director and a shareholder of Val de Vie. In this podcast with Biznews publisher Alec Hogg, Neethling discusses a new retirement village, which is right in the heart of the upmarket estate.

Partnering with Evergreen is Val de Vie and PSG, and Neethling says it promises to be ‘more than what the brochure says’. - Nadya Swart Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
