Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He played a total of 19 Tests, scoring 724 runs and picking up 17 wickets. van Ryneveld captained South Africa against England and Australia in 1956-57. However, his barrister career was taking more time and his cricket outings became far and less. After retiring from cricket he became a member of the House of Assembly.
van Ryneveld also entered politics and in 1957 was elected to the Parliament as a member of the United Party. After two years, he and 11 other MPs broke the United Party and formed the Progressive Party which adopted a more aggressive approach in sorting out the apartheid issue. However, in the 1961 general election all Progressive MPs except one lost their seats.
Cape Town has been his home and he lives there with his wife, Verity and three children, Mark, Philip and Tessa.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Widely considered one of the greatest allround sportsmen produced by South Africa, by the time Clive van Ryneveld left Oxford University, where he was a double Blue, he had already been capped at cricket and rugby (the latter as a three-quarter for England). He was a talented batsman, useful legspinner and outstanding fielder. He toured England in 1951making 983 runs at 29.78, which included a career-best 150 against Yorkshire, and also enjoyed a good series against New Zealand in 1953-54. But as the demands of his career as a barrister began to take more of his time, his cricketing outings grew less frequent, but he was still able to captain South Africa against England in 1956-57 and Australia the following summer. He retired from cricket and subsequently became a member of the House of Assembly.
