We did it! South Africa has once again emerged victorious in the Rugby World Cup, beating New Zealand in a thrilling final that had us all on the edge of our seats. The Springboks put on a masterclass performance that showcased their strength, skill, and determination. It was a moment that will be remembered for years to come and will forever be etched in our memories.
Gauteng Tourism Authority: Welcome Back Springboks!
As the Springboks return home this week, Gauteng Tourism warmly welcomes them back as the 2023 RWC Champions. The entire country is proud of our team, who have once again proved to the world that we are a force to be reckoned with on the rugby field. But more than that, the Springboks have shown us the power of unity, teamwork, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed the Springboks come together as a team, fighting through injuries, setbacks, and tough opponents to emerge triumphant. We have seen the way they have lifted each other, supported one another, and played with a passion and determination that can only come from a deep love of the game and a commitment to triumph.

We Look Forward to Celebrating Determination and Victory
But as we celebrate the Springboks’ victory, we also want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of the entire team, coaching staff, and support staff. Their hard work and dedication behind the scenes are essential to the success of the team, and they deserve just as much recognition as the players on the field.
The team will be arriving on the 31st of October at the O.R. Tambo International Airport at 11 a.m. and will be taking trophy tours throughout the country this week. Gautrain will be offering free rides to the airport to loyal supporters (more info here).
As the Springboks return to South Africa, we look forward to welcoming them back with open arms and celebrating their incredible achievement. Their win has brought hope, joy, and unity to our country, reminding us of the power of coming together to achieve great things. For this, we thank them and applaud them. Gauteng Tourism welcomes the Springboks back, the 2023 RWC Champions!
