Gauteng Provincial Legislature Portfolio Committee on Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, led by the Chairperson Honourable William Matsheke congratulate South Africa “Springboks team” for winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

By lifting the 2019 Rugby World Cup our boys have shown that when we are together, we are stronger, and we can achieve anything. The Springbok team has made South Africa and Gauteng proud said Chairperson William Matsheke.

This win reminds us on how in 1995 the entire nation came together to support our team.  We are extremely proud of this achievement and we call on the boys to defend it in France in 2023.  We don’t want to wait for another 12 years for another victory.  Rassie Erasmus and the boys led by Siya Kolisi we bow for you and thank you for putting a smile on our faces You have inspired the nation. We call on the people of South Africa in particular Gauteng province to go out in their multitudes to welcome the boys at OR Tambo International Airport on Tuesday, 5th November 2019 at 1700. #StrongerTogether
