said. He added that the reconstruction and closing of the road was not an easy one but was vital to ensure the longevity of the route for future generations to come. “This freeway is not just here to serve people of Johannesburg. This job that I am doing is one of the most rewarding jobs. The past three years have been really fruitful,” said Mashaba. Makhura said the closure of the bridge was very stressful as it limited the economy. “This is an infrastructure story and the work that was done here is very important because when you have good infrastructure you are able to connect your people and the M2 is a very important connector,” he said.
a lowly seventh in the world. Kolisi mentioned that South Africans of all colours and cultures had selflessly pulled together to turn around the Springboks and that it was his fervent hope that the Boks have inspired their country. They surely have done that and, in turn, it is the responsibility of the rest of South Africa to take their cue from the Boks, put aside their petty squabbles and put their country first. The Springbok emblem quite understandably has been the centre of heated emotions given its former apartheid connotations, but due to Madiba’s intervention, it survived and now has the potential to grow into a rallying point for all South Africans. That is the true beauty of Siya Kolisi holding up the Webb Ellis Cup, wearing a similar No 6 jersey to the one worn by Nelson Mandela in 1995.
Johannesburg residents are relieved as the M2 freeway reopened for motorists on Monday, 4 November. The official opening ceremony took place on Thursday, 31 October and was attended by outgoing Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, leader of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) Mangosuthu Buthelezi and Gauteng Premier David Makhura. Speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mashaba said he was proud of the work of the team that ensured that the project was completed effectively and with a focus on long terms sustainability. “I am so proud of the leadership that delivered this project on time. For the next 50 years, this road is here for our residents to use. Monday, 6 ‘o clock this road will be ready for our residents to use,” he
test run for us in terms of handling pressure,” said Erasmus. “We were terrible in that week in terms of talking about things and getting tense – it was a terrible build up that told us a lot about how to play the play offs. We were quite honest with one another about that. We started to talk a lot about what is pressure,” he said. “In South Africa, pressure is not having a job or if one of your close relatives is murdered. In South Africa there are a lot of problems, which is pressure. We started talking about things like that. “Rugby shouldn’t be something that creates pressure; it should be something that creates hope. We have a privilege of giving hope – it’s not a burden.” The inspirational Erasmus said that hope was not about words – it was about deeds. This victory is a truly unifying moment in our young democracy.

The mastermind behind the Springboks’ inspirational Rugby World Cup campaign, said it had been a privilege for the team to attempt to give South Africa a moment of hope. Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s coach who will be fulfilling a new director of rugby position after the World Cup, said after the team’s crushing 32-12 victory over England, that the team had been inspired by the opportunity to bring some light and joy into the daily lives of their fellow countrymen. He said it had been the mental shift the team needed after the disappointment of defeat in the opening match against New Zealand – a performance the Springboks turned on its head by becoming the first team to win the title after losing a pool match. World Champions “The first All Black game was a great

Perhaps it was written in the stars. After all, every 12 years the Springboks have the knack of winning the Rugby World Cup, with yesterday’s triumph in Tokyo continuing a pattern that begun in 1995 and continued in 2007. Saturday’s magnificent victory, though, will have an extra special place in South African hearts because it was a courageous victory for the underdogs. Few had given the Springboks a chance against an England team that had blown away the champion All Blacks in the semi-finals. Instead, the Boks rose to the occasion and delivered a rousing performance that reminds South Africans of what can be achieved by the Rainbow Nation when all work together. The image of Siya Kolisi, the first black Springbok captain, hoisting aloft the Webb Ellis Cup is as iconic as the one of Madiba congratulating Francois Pienaar in ’95. Kolisi, speaking directly after the final whistle, spoke of the energy his team had drawn from their homeland. He spoke of a troubled country that needed good news and of the responsibility the Springboks had embraced to deliver an example of what is possible in our country. It is indeed something of a South African miracle that the Springboks are the world champions given that they were in a shambles two years ago and ranked
