Strength In Unity

It is quite incredible how a small
team of athletes were able to
inspire their entire nation to

believe in themselves and to be

proud of their country. South
Africans have had their fair share
of challenges over the past years.

However, when united in a

common cause or celebration,
they lift their minds and hearts to
the same perspective of ‘strength

in unity’, and in this state we are

unstoppable, ingenious, and
simply brilliant.

“We have a lot of problems in

our country, but when our team
comes together… It shows we
can pull together to achieve
something.” Siya Kolisi Photo credit SA Government

Diversity is of course an advantage when given the opportunity to express itself
unhindered. South Africans embrace diversity as a rite of passage, and as we
transition into a high functioning and uniquely engaged nation, are able to recognise

our strength and ability to rise to the highest levels in sport and in other disciplines.

There is no doubt that in this instance when our national rugby team conquered the
world’s best teams, we were also given support and encouragement to raise our place

in areas such as global business, governance, effective trade, conservation, community
development, etc.

South Africans shine when we are united under our flag of hope and opportunity for
all, and our hearts sing when we sound the call to come together, and strive for

freedom in our dear land.
