Springbok Victory Parade in Cape Town

SA Rugby has confirmed details of the Springboks winning parade

SA Rugby has confirmed details of the Springboks winning parade to honour the team’s World Cup winning performance at the IRB Rugby World Cup in France.

SARU President, Oregan Hoskins, has appealed to the public to join in the celebrations by wearing Green and Gold.

President Thabo Mbeki has invited the team for a courtesy visit to the Union Building in Pretoria on Friday, where he will formally congratulate the players and management.

The Springboks became only the second team after the Wallabies to win the Webb Ellis Cup for a second time.

On Saturday morning former president and Nobel Peace winner Nelson Mandela will host the team during a brief visit to his residence in Houghton in Johannesburg.

The victory celebrations include various ticket-tape parades in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town as well as team appearances in Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth.
