Stuur Groete aan Mannetjies Roux (English: "Send greetings to Mannetjies Roux") is a 2013 Afrikaans film about a teenage girl who visits her aunt and uncle on their Karoo farm during the school vacation. She makes a series of discoveries: she finds out who she really is and where she comes from. Three visitors in one week change her life forever, and her uncle's obsession with the try by Mannetjies Roux is finally explained.
The film as nothing to do with the life of Mannetjies Roux, but rather with the try which he scored in 1962 in Bloemfontein against the British Lions.
The film is based on the title and lyrics of one of Laurika Rauch's most famous songs "Stuur Groete Aan Mannetjies Roux". The song describes life on the uncle's farm from the girl's point-of-view, most notably the uncle's Diesel-powered car, the longing for rain and the Try scored by Mannetjies Roux.
