Sharing Your Grief & Remembering with you.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we inform you of the death of Mr Teno van der Riet (30 Mar 1969 – 26 Feb 2023).

Teno was a legend and an icon to many. Our friend and mentor will be dearly missed. He will be remembered for his compassion and great sense of humor.

Teno was also part of the Bergsig High Rugby team, coaching for many years and left his mark with them also.

Teno, we salute you for the 23 years of dedication and your significant contribution to the success of the industry.

SANIRE wishes his family and his children and grandchildren well through this sad time. Teno not only touched the lives of his immediate family and friends, but also the entire rock mechanics fraternity, for which we are all great full.

Rest in peace Teno.
