Young rugby fan gets to meet his hero 'Elizabedi'

A video went viral on social media after Siya Dlamini from Volksrust was seen referring to Eben Etzebeth as 'Elizabedi' as he cheered him on. This was as Etzebeth crossed the line to score a last gasp and claim victory against World Cup hosts France. Courtesy #DStv403

[@eyvonnemaree452]

Mostly great interview. Thank you Siya for not getting drawn into politics again. We as South Africans are drawing together organically and through events like the Rugby World Cup. Politicians and the media should try and stop fanning the negative flames. And Siya, you look like a great human being. Good luck with your dreams and ambitions.

[@twentyfifty2050]

We need to do that next year on the elections. Come together and save ourselves and the country, no matter the colour
