Manie Neethling RIP

Post by Steve Appleton »

It is with sadness that we have to report the death of Manie Neethling in a motorcyle accident over this past weekend (23 March 2013). Despite being a hard taskmaster and a huge champion of railway safety Manie became a great supporter of FOTR. Manie was originally an SAR steam driver and later, as a senior TFR driver, often piloted FOTR's steam trains over TFR and Metrorail metals. Both Manie as a person and as well as his contributions to the club, given in his characteristic gruff but fun attitude, will be sorely missed.
All of us at FOTR offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
