    ‘Hansie’ filming completed

    By Will 2 months ago, Comments

    Frans Cronje, the brother of Hansie, has finished the film documenting the life and troubles of his sibling.

    The filming of Hansie, based on the life of the late South African captain, has been completed by his brother Frans Cronje, who says he went through his “own King Commission” during the “incredibly tough” year of shooting. Frans told Cricinfo the movie, completed on Monday, will be released across Africa on September 24 with a possible international release to follow
