Louis Luyt
Louis Luyt was a prominent South African rugby administrator and politician, who served as the president of the South African Rugby Football Union (SARFU) during the critical transition period post-apartheid. He played a key role in fostering international rugby relations and was instrumental in the reintroduction of South Africa into the global rugby community during the early 1990s. Luyt's efforts included the notable invitation to a New Zealand Māori side to tour South Africa in 1994, symbolizing a move towards reconciliation in a nation healing from its apartheid past.
