Durban artists Ewokessay, Mook Lion, Dane Stops, and Giffy, spent this past Sunday creating a mural dedicated to the amazing Springbok win over England in this past weekend’s Rugby World Cup final.
IOL reports that the mural has the face of Springboks captain, Siya Kolisi, the coveted Webb Ellis trophy and the emblem of the national rugby team, the springbok.
Various social media posts popped up since they started creating the mural. One of the artists, Ewokessay also uploaded some videos and photos on Instagram, saying:
“Fresh wall going up, three guesses who we’re paying tribute to over at everyone’s favorite spot: dizypix house. Swing by, say hi, catch a photo with some paint covered guys”.
“Phenomenal. Can’t wait to drive by!” said one social media user.
“Love this!” said another.
The Springboks will kick off their Rugby World Cup Champions Tour in Gauteng on Thursday 7 November with a parade including stops in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Soweto.
The RWC squad will also parade the Webb Ellis Cup in Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth before concluding the tour in Cape Town on Monday, 11 November.
Details of parade events and additional Champions Tour information is set to be released throughout the week.
Kolisi and the Springboks delivered a special message to South Africa after their Rugby World Cup triumph. Watch the video down here:
