The World Cup victory was for South Africa, said Erasmus.

Their win covered our country with glory…

The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviewed Tholakele Mnganga, a reporter at EWN, who were waiting at OR Tambo.
Thousands upon thousands of Springbok supporters… We’ve been here since 1:00 pm, and the excitement has been high since then. From all walks of life, South Africans have come to welcome back the Springboks, waving their flags… kids in school uniforms, football fans, cricket fans… all coming together for the Boks… Everybody dressed in green and gold… makarakas and vuvuzelas…
