Ade van Heerden

In the Long Room of the Wanderers, an extremely pretty young woman bowls a ball to David Miller, the man who lives by the adage: "If it's in the V, it's in the tree, and if it's in the arc, it's out of the park." The ball was both in the arc and the V, but Miller politely bunted it to the off side. You couldn't fault him, for the pink ball was delivered on a pink carpet by Ade van Heerden, who wears the Miss South Africa tiara with some pride. Before you think she's just a pretty face, you should know that Ade is a medical doctor who treats 40 patients a day and a lieutenant in the Military 2 Hospital in Cape Town.
