About the event
Hotel 247 in White River invites you to turn the moment into a weekend escape in the Lowveld.
🌿 Why the Springbok? A Symbol of National Identity
The Springbok, or "Bokke" as affectionately known in Afrikaans, is more than a national mascot — it’s a symbol of South African pride and perseverance. Chosen for its agility, strength, and elegance, the Springbok has represented South Africa’s national rugby team since 1906.
The name “Bokke” resonates deeply across generations, bringing South Africans together from all walks of life — a shared chant of unity echoing in stadiums, homes, and hearts. This July, as the Springboks take on Georgia, fans will once again rally under this iconic emblem with hope, passion, and unshakable gees.
