Ruling party calls on all South Africans to rally behind national rugby team

ANC STATEMENT ON THE VOCTORY OF AMABOKOBOKO 

The African National Congress congratulates the South African National Rugby team, amaBokoboko for a sterling performance and convincing victory over Samoa. They have once more proven their resilience in the face of daunting challenge posed by the adrenaline driven competitiveness of a World Cup.

We believe that their recovery from the opening loss proves that they stand the chance of regaining their composure and focus which is key to winning the World Cup. We call on all South Africans to continue rallying behind our team which is a contender for this cup.

Let us keep up the spirit to carry the determination they have demonstrated. We must fly the South African National Rugby Team flag both inside and outside our country. With our united voice we will carry the spirit of our players to bring the trophy home. Go Bokke  and conquer for our national pride!
