i have been trying to find out but to no avail.

please enlighten me....

Google does not know anything about him

Monsieur Rouquette was a guest to Mopani camp who had his expensive car washed by a camp worker. So he left the car at the car park and asked the guy to take the car then to his chalet. When the worker was done he manouvered the car and reversed it almost into that tree that left some ugly scratches and the car was stuck between the tree and a rock and had to be towed. The guest then asked camp management to do him the favour and name the tree after him.

Funny little story and certainly not of public dominion

In what year did that happen

a fascinating story klippies

thank you..
