Pietersen played for the Sharks before playing in England, Japan and France. He has since returned to South Africa and is playing for the Sharks again. 

In 2015, Pietersen married Megan Weir-Smith and the couple has one daughter together. 

The Scenic Drive caught up with the Pietersen family on Wednesday - to hear how they are coping during the national lockdown period. 

"We are only three in the house. My daughter keeps me busy and my wife is pregnant. 

"We are expecting another girl - and I am really happy. It happened before the lockdown," he laughed.

"I am truly happy that it is a girl again. If the baby is healthy, I am happy."

Congratulations, Jp!
