Hundreds of Springboks fans, many of whom are sporting the team’s signature green and gold, have gathered outside Umhlanga’s Garden Court hotel ahead of the Durban leg of the 2023 Rugby World Cup champions’ victory tour.
The supporters were loudly singing popular sporting anthems such as Shosholoza.
Broad smiles, laughs and light conversation were the order of the day, with the sunny weather reflecting the jovial mood permeating this affluent part of Durban.
Karishma Ganai, a Durban local, said although she lives down the road from the hotel, she booked herself and her two sons a room at the establishment so that they could get a better view of the Springboks when they arrive.
She said:
It’s been a rush of emotions for us … As soon as we heard that the boys were coming over, we decided to book in.
Her son, Mikhail Govender, said: “It’s been a mixture of emotions for me ever since they [Springboks] won against the All Blacks. I’m very happy for the boys. I hope they continue winning.”
Karishma Ganai and her son, Mikhail Govender, booked into the Garden Court Umhlanga to get a good view of the Bokke.
