He was going to be driving the open bus carrying the Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok players on their Webb Ellis Trophy Tour. “I was a bit nervous and left my place praying that there should be no mistakes today and I should do what is expected of me. I was over the moon when I saw the team walking into my bus. I felt like a celebrity,” he told“Today is one of my memorable days, I even got to see President Cyril Ramaphosa face-to-face. I have never [personally] seen him before, I always see him on TV,” he said.The Trophy Tour started at Helpmekaar Kollege in Parktown, Johannesburg.
