The story
On the teams sports front, South Africa enjoyed a successful 2024 on the global stage, thanks to the remarkable performances of its national teams, Bafana Bafana and the Springboks.
Both teams have consistently showcased resilience and skill as formidable contenders in international competitions, led fiercely by coaches Johan "Rassie" Erasmus and Hugo Broos.
The Springboks have firmly established themselves as the top rugby team in the world, having followed up their 2023 World Cup triumph with a dominant record of 11 wins out of 13 test matches last season.
Bafana Bafana on the other hand, are steadily working to regain their position among Africa's top football nations. Broos' men followed up their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Bronze with four wins and two draws on their way to qualification for this year's continental showpiece in Morocco.
In a game-recognise-game moment, Rassie posted a snap of him and Broos on Twitter/X, with the coaching duo spotted at what appears to be a recent Castle Lager event.
"Not a long chat, but certainly learned a few things I will try to implement! Dankie Hugo Broos!" wrote Rassie, sharing two pictures of him and Broos.

Both the Springboks and Bafana Bafana share many commonalities and carry the hopes of millions of South Africans on the field. As Hugo Broos and Jacques Nienaber develop a relationship, it contributes to the mutual respect between the two national teams.
Bafana captain Ronwen Williams and Springbok skipper Siya Kolisi have helped rekindle the bond between the teams, with both sports stars expressing admiration for one another in the past.
