Des Fontaine Sports: Enduring values
Des Fontaine opened his Klerksdorp sport store 60 years ago with ten of the most illustrious tennis players of the time in attendance, including rivals for the top spot Pancho Gonzales and Ken Rosewall. Since then, he has seen many sport stores open and close in this North West mining town — but Des Fontaine Sport remains packed with youngsters and their parents buying sporting equipment.
Many drive from neighboring towns to shop there.
