It was a sea green and gold as school children, adults and even old ladies gather to say goodbye to the team after eight days of celebrations

PORT ELIZABETH - The Springboks have on Sunday concluded their Eastern Cape Rugby World Cup trophy tour and are jetting to Cape Town to conclude their victory tour.

The Western Cape will be the Boks' final stop, having already visited parts of Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. The team was met by thousands of supporters in the Eastern Cape who sang and chanted as they waited for them in cloudy and windy conditions. Sunday’s parade saw them travel from the PE city hall to Siya Kolisi’s hometown of Zwide where he was met by thousands of locals who cheered for their hero.

Tomorrow the team will be in Cape Town for the fifth and final day of their parade as they bring down the curtains on two weeks of World Cup celebrations.

What's in City Press Voices: Boks win: Unity or farce?; Time for the DA to end this hypocrisy; The ugly side of politicsIf I smile at u, then u say it's fake , they won't be unity , u don't want unity at all Whatever, majority of us South Africans are happy with Boks win and if we are united temporarily so be it. Reconciliation project is not a decade thing or whatever. America is more than 50 years in it but they are not fully there. We must racists whether they are black or white Books win is not unity at all. It's a great performance from a diverse group of player/countrymen. It has nothing to do with the day-to-day South African issues and realities. We salute and appreciate this crop of players.
