Thousands of Springbok fans laughed, cried, danced and cheered in public viewing areas in the Buffalo City Metro on Saturday evening as match referee Wayne Barnes blew the final whistle, confirming the Boks’ victory in a nail-biting Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand in France.
All eyes will be on President Cyril Ramaphosa this evening as many anticipate he will announce a public holiday after the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup on Saturday.
There was a time when the magnificence and resilience of a squad like the current Springboks brought hope, renewed resolve and pride to our collective hearts.
