Rory Steyn, the former policeman who formed part of former President Nelson Mandela’s personal security detail, has stood by his claim that the All Blacks were poisoned during the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Steyn, who was tasked with looking after the All Blacks during the world cup in South Africa, said he saw evidence first hand that the New Zealand rugby team had been poisoned on the Thursday night before the final on Saturday… which was won by South Africa.
He says he does not believe SA Rugby Union had anything to do with it, but that it was rather carried out by those involved in betting syndicates, who wanted to shorten the odds.
Steyn first mentioned these allegations in his 2001 co-authored memoir ‘One Step Behind Mandela: The story of Rory Steyn, Nelson Mandela’s Chief Bodyguard’. He was the first high-profile South African to acknowledge that wrongdoing had taken place.
Steyn was speaking during an interview on the Dan Nicholl show.
He says: “Somehow they were gotten to. I don’t know whether it was food or the water in the tea and coffee, but those guys were properly sick. Were they in a fit state to take the field on Saturday? Yes, in the main, 98 per cent yes. But what about the psychological preparation? How did that affect them?
“I say to every South African, as I say to myself, it happened, and sadly it happened on my watch. That still is something I take very personally.”
