Can’t get enough of the South African hunks, we’ve been blogging about lately? Well, here’s another sexy dude from the land of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Ryk Neethling is one of South Africa’s top swimming stars who won a gold medal for his country during the last 2004 Olympic Games. He remains a top celebrity in his country having been voted as the hottest celebrity in a Heat Magazine poll.
Here’s an article about said poll via iafrica.com:
For the second year in a row SA swimming champ Ryk Neethling was voted to be the hottest celebrity on the planet in the heat Hot 100 poll.
More than 250 000 votes were received in heat magazine’s annual reader-driven poll, making Neethling the first-ever star to take top honours two years in a row.
In the six-year history of the poll, Neethling has always been one of the most popular South African celebrities, regularly featuring in the top 20, and being named as the most popular local in 2005 when Brad Pitt was the overall winner.

Ryk says he couldn’t believe it when he got the call. “It’s crazy! I actually thought you guys [heat] were pulling my leg. It has to be a joke, right? I mean, I’ve been working so much and haven’t really been out and about this year.”Ryk says that although he would never vote for himself, he is sure his mom voted for him. The eligible bachelor brought his younger sister Jean Marie along as his date to the glitzy heat Hot 100 party, which was held in Sandton on Friday night. At last year’s party, his other sister, Elsje, was by his side.
