Backing the Boks all the way

Schools in communities put on their best green gold in support of the Springboks.

Whether you call the Springboks the Boks, Bokke or Amabokoboko, one thing remains the same, our country’s unwavering support in our national team.

As the late Nelson Mandela once said, ‘One team, one country’ and boy, do we resemble that when it comes to our national team.
