Ertjies was a strong climber and won the King of the Mountains title several times during the Rapport Tour.
Ertjiesberg on the R 500 main road between Fochville and Parys is named after him; he had a regular workout here.
At hostel, he regularly mounted his racing bicycle on a weekday afternoon and took his washing to be done at his parents' home in Vanderbijlpark, returning the same evening to Potchefstroom.
