South Africa's national rugby team embarks on a triumphal tour following their World Cup win

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of South Africa's capital city as the national rugby team embarks on a victory tour following their fourth World Cup win. Fans adorned in the team's colors flooded the roads of Pretoria to catch a glimpse of their beloved champions. The team will travel across the country for four days, starting at the Union Buildings, the government's headquarters. President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed a passionate crowd from a balcony, praising the team for their historic achievement and declaring a public holiday to celebrate their victory. The president and many others see the Springboks' triumph as a beacon of hope in the face of the country's challenges, which include power outages, economic difficulties, and high unemployment rates. The diverse composition of the team, in contrast to its previous association with apartheid, is seen as a unifying force for the nation. The team will continue their tour by visiting Johannesburg, Soweto, Cape Town, Durban, and East London.
