Springboks Fans Celebrate World Cup Victory At Home

South African rugby fans danced, shouted, and partied Saturday night (Oct. 28) until the early hours of Sunday (Oct. 29) after the Springboks world Cup triumph.

From Cape Town, to Johannesburg and Bloemfontein, the wave of jubilation swept across the country.

“It’s a special time to be alive. We all unite around the South African rugby,” said rugby fan Anton Geldenhuys in Pretoria.

Fly half Handre Pollard scored all the points for a Springboks side which repeated its 1995 success over New Zealand and denied the All Blacks their own chance to win a fourth title in their record fifth final.

“This game has shown me that, it’s never too late to fight for your dreams and hey, back-to-back champions, 2019, 2023, this one is for history I must say,” law student Mthamba said.
