Woza Moya is all about team spirit and working together, so it was a no-brainer that we decided to get behind the Springbok rugby team and support #BokFriday.

On Friday 01 September, which also happened to be the first day of Spring, the Woza Moya team dressed in our green and gold T-shirts to support our national rugby team. This is something we plan to continue to do each Friday until the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

The Springbok rugby team is the defending champion of the Rugby World Cup. We were so proud of our men in green and gold when they won the World Cup in 2019 in Japan. We are rooting for them to do it again!

The spirit of #BokFriday sends a real positive message to the people of South Africa as we join together to support our Rugby team. Our diverse backgrounds are forgotten as we cheer and celebrate in unity for each try and point scored. Go Bokke!
