Du Plessis het nie net duisende Suid-Afrikaners en bekendes se ondersteuning gehad nie, maar ook di\u00e9 van sowat 100 vriende en familielede wat sy reis na Kanada meegemaak het om in lewende lywe te sien hoe hy as w\u00eareldkampioen gekroon word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy aanhangers vanoor Suid-Afrika heen, maar veral in Welkom waar hy skool gegaan het by die Prim\u00eare Skool Naudeville, is verheug n\u00e1 sy oorwinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op Facebook stroom die gelukwensings in. Claudia Doig skryf: Welkom is trots op jou!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
