If Gareth and Sean chose football, their sister, she, followed the same path as their father by becoming a professional swimmer. Supportive dad, Michael Wittstock has always supported his daughter in everything she does.
The former rugby player who still lives in Benoni with his wife pays a visit to his elder sister on the Rock. He has also been a co-organizer of boxing tournaments in the Principality of Monaco since 2012 and is supported by his stepson.
