Somizi, Bonko Khoza, Langa Mavuso — celebs share support for Boks
From 'Skeem Saam' to award-winning singers, SA's top stars share their messages for the Springboks ahead of the big RWC final against the All Blacks
After a gruelling fight, the Springboks have finally made it to a face-off with their 1995 Rugby World Cup rivals for a clash like no other.
With all the blood, sweat and viral tears from South Africans around the globe, the national team has certainly been a bright spark in our water- and load-shedded lives. We’ve lost some to doping allegations and won some in funnier situations such as which Bok player would own OnlyFans.
However, turning the spotlight on the boys in green and gold are our stars. Here is what they had to say about the Boks:
We can make it this weekend. I really believe we can. Don't stress any more. Take off work today.
Be at home ... don't worry. Enjoy your weekend and start a fire at home. We're going to win this weekend but it's going to be a big one. I believe that the Springboks can pull through and everyone asks me why. It's because with these tough games they built [mental depth] in themselves.
Even if the guys know we're 10, 15 points behind, they know they are going to make it because they bought into this game plan, they bought into each other and this is a Springbok team. They're at a level in world rugby that they can go to places where no other team can go. They showed it against Ireland, they showed it against England and they're going to show it against the All Blacks.
If you look at the team, you know where we're going. We're going to a dogfight. Finish and klaar. I believe we've got the edge as South Africans, as Springboks, as South African Springbok players.
