In Pics: Jesse Clegg hangs out with the Springboks after private performance

The Springboks celebrated their victory at a private party in Cape Town after a week-long trophy tour in some of the country’s biggest cities.


It’s often said that musos are envious of sport stars, while the latter also find themselves wanting to be as cool as some of the biggest artists.

This could’ve been the case for South African musician Jesse Clegg who was all smiles after performing for the Springboks in a private party in Cape Town on Friday night.

“I played a special private show for the Springboks in Cape Town as part of their homecoming tour. It was so much fun celebrating the victory with them and to experience the joy and spirit of the team,” averred Clegg on his social media.

From coach Jacques Nienaber, to scrumhalf Faf De Klerk (in his pants) and a seemingly inebriated Bongi Mbonambi, Jesse got the opportunity most South Africans would die for.

The party was at an undisclosed venue in Cape Town where rapper Jack Parrow was present and so was R&B singer Lloyiso.

The private party took place after the Boks’ trophy tour which saw them parade the Webb Ellis Cup in the streets of Pretoria, Johannesburg, Soweto, Cape Town, Durban and East London in celebration of the team’s historic triumph in France.
