Boks scrum down for Bafana Bafana

AMABHOKOBHOKO have added their support to the ever- growing Join the Voice Behind Bafana Bafana campaign spearheaded by Vodacom.

AMABHOKOBHOKO have added their support to the ever- growing Join the Voice Behind Bafana Bafana campaign spearheaded by Vodacom.

Led by coach Pieter de Villiers and captain John Smit, the Springboks will publicly declare their support for Bafana Bafana tomorrow. De Villiers and Smit will also hand over jerseys to their Bafana Bafana counterparts Carlos Alberto Parreira and Aaron "Mbazo" Mokoena.

This historic occasion will take place at 9am at the hotel used by Bafana Bafana as their base camp for the World Cup.

Six weeks ago Safa president Kirsten Nematandani was invited to address the Springboks. He thanked them for supporting Bafana Bafana.

Saru president Oregan Hoskins said: "We are fully behind Bafana Bafana. I remember when we were hosting the 1995 Rugby World Cup many people did not give us a chance. But the entire country was behind us and it is history that we won the tournament. Bafana Bafana are in the same situation .

"Our message to Bafana is that nothing is impossible."

South Africans are urged to send messages of support to 35600. The messages will be entered into a draw and R1million is up for grabs. Celebrities like Mark Williams, Chester Williams, Gary Rantseli, Tshidi Mholo, Phil Masinga and Helman Mkhalele are supporting the campaign.
