United we Stand Divided we Fall. -Ramaphosa




Dear Fellow South African,
Seeing Springbok Captain Siyamthanda Kolisi lifting the cup at the Yokohama Stadium on Saturday filled me with incredible pride. I could see the undisguised feeling on the essence of his dad, Fezakele Raymond Kolisi viewing from the stands. There was his child, the first black captain of the Springboks, impacting the world forever.
Siya Kolisi was conceived on a day of significant noteworthiness in our nation, 16 June, when we recollect the valiant students who lit the way for our freedom. Siya's captaincy not just typifies the change of a game that was once racially isolated; it is the intensity of a fantasy satisfied. This is the fantasy of a youngster of humble conditions to one day wear the green and gold pullover, and of a nation that has empowered him to see it understood.
When South Africa is encountering significant difficulties, we have come together for the triumph in Japan. The overflowing of help for the Springboks making a course for the last indeed demonstrated the tremendous capability of game to unite us as a people.
We are joined by the vision of a nation where the divisions of the past can be survived, a country of balance, poise and regard for human rights. In the course of recent years, we have been cooperating to assemble that country. And keeping in mind that this is still particularly a work in progress, we are solidly on the way to join together, restore and change our general public.
The apparition of prejudice, sexism, tribalism, xenophobia, homophobia and different types of bigotry has once in a while flourished in our general public and has bushwhacked us as we endeavor towards our national target of making a non-racial, non-misogynist, popularity based, prosperous and tolerant society. As Siya Kolisi stated: "We can accomplish anything in the event that we cooperate as one."
