Eric Songwiqi says the Rugby World Cup win was important for black players

Eric Songwiqi‚ the former Emsengeni headmaster of Springbok Rugby World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi‚ dropped his phone and it had to go for repairs.

Songwiqi battled to hide his emotions‚ saying the win was a big one for the country‚ with the most important part being the black players who represented their team with pride and contributed to the win.“People were so jubilant. They were singing. They were happy and they were behind the Springboks. It was so important to see that black people had representatives in the team and that shows there’s a lot of potential we have in this country‚” Songwiqi said.

Songwiqi‚ who “discovered” Kolisi in his past life as a rugby coach‚ said it was a big moment for him to see a black captain lifting the Webb Ellis Cup.
