PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA
President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed his heartfelt congratulations to the Springbok Women’s rugby team following their triumph in the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup. Their recent victory over Madagascar, with a conclusive score of 46-17, not only secured their championship title but also paved their way to the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England, instilling immense pride across the nation.
The President praised the team’s significant achievement, saying, “Well done to our Springbok Women for adding another trophy to our national trophy cabinet.” This praise from the nation’s highest office underscores the importance of the victory in promoting South Africa’s prowess on the global sports stage.
The match, which took place in Antananarivo, saw the Springbok Women assert their dominance, allowing them to retain their esteemed African championship. As a result of this win, the Springbok Women are not only set to compete in the upcoming Rugby World Cup but also in the WXV 2 tournament. This event, hosted by South Africa in September 2024, will feature a competitive lineup including teams from Scotland, Italy, the United States, Japan, and Samoa. It promises to be a thrilling precursor to the World Cup, highlighting the growing importance of women’s rugby on a global scale.
Organized by World Rugby, the WXV 2 tournament represents a key opportunity for South Africa to showcase its rugby talent against some of the world’s leading teams. International eyes will be on South Africa as it competes in this three-tier international competition, underscoring the country’s vibrant sporting culture.
President Ramaphosa also took the moment to reflect on the broader significance of the Springbok Women’s achievement, aligning it with the country’s strides in women’s development over the past 30 years of freedom. He lauded the team, alongside other national teams like the Springboks and Banyana Banyana, for their role in elevating South Africa’s international sporting reputation and contributing to the nation’s sense of unity and pride.
The Springbok Women’s latest triumph is more than just a win on the field; it is a testament to the growing strength and visibility of women’s rugby in South Africa. It highlights the progress made in nurturing and showcasing women’s talent in a sport that continues to gain momentum on the global stage.
As the team looks forward to their future competitions, including the much-anticipated Rugby World Cup, their victory in the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup will undoubtedly serve as a source of motivation and confidence. Congratulations once more resonate from across South Africa, echoing the sentiments of President Ramaphosa and the entire nation in praise of the Springbok Women’s remarkable achievement.
