Cape Town is ready to paint the town green and gold on Friday when the Mother City is set to host the World Cup champion Springboks for their victory parade.
The procession around the streets of the Cape Town CBD, Langa and Bonteheuwel will be preceded by a mini concert on the Grand Parade in front of the City Hall.
In conjunction with SA Rugby, the City of Cape Town is putting together a celebration to honour the back-to-back world champions, says Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.
“Let’s thank the boys for inspiring a nation and show them we are proud of their incredible performance, not only in the final, but throughout the tournament,” Hill-Lewis explained.
