The details were made today by SARU, and has been scheduled for December 14- with Public Holiday falling on the 15, as declared by President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa, during his address to the nation, following Boks emphatic win in France.

“The holiday not only marks the celebration of the Springboks win, but we also highlight the significant sporting milestone of winning more times than any other nation.
The true essence of this triumph lies not only in the records but in the profound symbolism embedded in their victory. The Springboks’ success serves as a powerful testament to resilience and determination, the ethos of ‘Keep Walking’ from Johnnie Walker which resonances in the Springbok journey,” says a media release.
