Johan Steenekamp


Johan Steenekamp was a South African international rugby union player.
Steenekamp was born in Alberton and educated at Hoërskool Voortrekker.
A goal–kicking lock forward, Steenekamp made his representative debut for Transvaal in 1954. He gained a Springboks cap in 1958, taking the place of Salty du Rand for a Test match against France at Newlands, which finished in a 3–3 draw. The Springboks selectors then made a series of changes for the second Test match and Steenekamp was displaced by Jan Pickard. He ascended to the Transvaal captaincy in 1959.
Steenekamp was a diamond polisher by profession.
