The Ballito Farmer’s Market was alive with cheers and laughter on Saturday morning as locals gathered to watch the Springboks thrash New Zealand 43-10.

Every try was celebrated like a festival, with supporters jumping up from benches and turning the market into a sea of high-fives. Some fans managed to juggle their celebrations with a plate of food from the stalls, proving that national pride goes hand in hand with good eats.

Meanwhile, the kiddies’ play area doubled as a mini training ground, with youngsters attempting their own scrums while parents kept one eye on them and the other firmly on the big screen.

Other supporters raised a Zamalek before 10am, reminding everyone that when the Boks face the All Blacks, it is always five o’clock somewhere.
