Liezel van der Westhuizen Rock the River

16 February 2012

Luxo is not only about fashion, but like keeping our readers informed about what celebrities are up to...and today we spotted Liezel van der Westhuizen doing what she loves most - being active in nature at the 2012 Unlimited Dusi Canoe Marathon (this would explain why Expresso is so quiet the last few days without her!).

The whole South Africa is behind Liezel and what she does, especially since she started in January with her 6 qualifying races of which she won 3. Her partner in crime for this extreme adventurous event, is Gregory van Heerden, The High Performance Co-ordinator for Canoeing South Africa and by the look of things in the photos, it looks like they make a mean team.

Liezel van der Westhuizen inspires the youth of South Africa, seeing that she is a "go getter" who works hard to be successful in her career, but she also shows that there is always time to focus on your hobbies and the things you love - it just depends on how badly you want it.

GO LIEZEL!
