Selfs diegene wat nie Saterdagaand met \u2019n uitsending van die w\u00eareldbekerrugby se eindstryd opgesit het nie, voel dit gepas om tog ook \u2019n eier daaroor te l\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Rapport <\/span>skryf Hendrik Cronj\u00e9 dat die Springbokke steeds op die kruin van w\u00eareldbekerrugby is nadat hulle die eerste span geword het om die beker vier keer te wen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die eerste keer was in 1995 (dink aan die onvergeetlike foto van oudpresident Nelson Mandela in sy Springbok\u00adrugbytrui en kaptein Francois Pienaar met die w\u00eareldbeker-trofee omhoog op Ellispark); daarna in 2007 en ook in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Met die sege op 24 Junie 1995 was die demokratiese Suid-Afrika net meer as \u2019n jaar oud. Toe was die meeste Suid-Afrikaners nog blinkoog oor di\u00e9 re\u00ebnboognasie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Saam het hulle simbolies die beker omhoog gehou; gejuig oor \u2019n beter toekoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Saam met aartsbiskop Desmond Tutu het hulle aan die pot goud aan die voet van die re\u00ebnboog geglo. (Tutu het voor sy dood ges\u00ea dat hy teleurgesteld is oor wat in die land aangaan; dat dit nie is waarvoor hulle geveg het nie). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Saterdagaand, 28 jaar later, was die meeste Suid-Afrikaners ook blinkoog van vreugde (eerstens omdat daar nie beurtkrag was nie, en tweedens oor die sege). <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Paar uur lank kon hulle vergeet van blinkoog wees met trane oor diensleweringskwessies, werkloosheid, misdaad, ho\u00eb rentekoerse, onbekostigbare brandstof en meer, wat die re\u00ebnboog laat verdof het (en die pot goud, omgekeer en dolleeg weens korrupsie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oor die nuutste sege het Springbok-kaptein Siya Kolisi ges\u00ea: \u201cAlle eer aan die All Blacks; hulle het ons na \u2019n donker plek geneem en onder ongelooflike druk geplaas, maar ons het nooit ophou veg nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMense besef nie wat dit vir ons land, wat op die oomblik deur so baie gaan, beteken nie. Dit wys vir kinders van die Derdew\u00eareld-land dat enigiets vermag kan word. Alles is moontlik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laat ons dit (wil) glo. Vir Suid-Afrika: \u201cAlles is moontlik.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Selfs diegene wat nie Saterdagaand met \u2019n uitsending van die w\u00eareldbekerrugby se eindstryd
