After winning the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship (WTC) 2025, the national men’s team has basked in the glory of success alongside passionate South African fans.
The celebration came three months after the team’s captain, Temba Bavuma, and his Proteas claimed the coveted trophy at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in the United Kingdom (UK).
The Proteas conquered the test arena after beating Australia by five wickets to win their maiden title.
To celebrate, the team embarked on the Menace Tour, parading the prestigious trophy at six venues in five of South Africa’s provinces.
The team and management received a resounding welcome at the Tsoseletso Secondary School in Bloemfontein on 23 September. Delighted learners of the school formed a guard of honour to salute their heroes.
Spanning over four days, the celebratory tour ended in Cape Town on Friday, 26 September.
The tour saw fans, young and old, line the streets to salute South Africa’s cricketing heroes.
Team members participated in mini clinics for budding cricketers and signed autographs for passionate supporters.
The Proteas kicked off the tour in Kimberley, in the Northern Cape, and proceeded to Bloemfontein.
On the same day they headed for Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, en route to Gqeberha and East London in the Eastern Cape, with the tour ending in the Western Cape.
