President Cyril Ramaphosa is confident the South African national rugby team will be bringing the World Cup home yet again, and says he is booking his ticket to the final in France.
This after the Springboks set a new world record at the Rugby World Cup over the weekend, beating Romania 76-0.
The President was speaking to South African journalists in New York, where he is attending the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
“The victory is a major boost to the confidence of the country, we are on our way to winning the World Cup again.
So, I will be booking my ticket to go to France to go and watch the final.”
