In September, he was pictured unwinding in Sossusvlei, Namibia, with his wife, Miné and their daughter Remi.
In June 2024, de Klerk launched Faffies, a swimwear line that celebrates South African culture and unity. The brand's inception was inspired by Faf's iconic 2019 Rugby World Cup celebration, where he donned a South African flag Speedo during a meeting with Prince Harry. This bold display of patriotism resonated with fans and laid the foundation for Faffies.
