Piet and Tillie are both from the Free State. They went to the same primary and secondary school. They were high school sweethearts and have been married for 42 years.

Piet went to Glen Agricultural College and then joined the Military as a Paratrooper. He fought on the border during the war. He is a very brave man.

Tillie went to Bloemfontein Education College and then started teaching in 1977. She was also a part of starting three Accelerated Christian Education schools. She was the principal of two of these schools for seven years. Piet and Tillie decided to start these schools to raise their kids in a Christian Education system.

They now live just outside Kroonstad on a small farm. They have served for 14 years as co-pastors and counsellors in a church in Kroonstad. At the end of March 2020, they are going to retire and do Mannatech fulltime.

They love helping people with their problems and always try to make a difference in their lives.

She prayed for provision after retirement for many years – then Mannatech found them. After three years and seven months in the business they had the privilege to become Bronze Presidentials
