The partnership includes a collaboration with the South African Rugby Union and the Ministry of Sport, Arts & Culture to celebrate the momentous occasion and grant rights to the SABC to broadcast the iconic Castle Lager Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and the All Blacks at the Emirates Airline Park on 31 August 2024.<\/p>

As the country celebrates this historic democratic milestone, SuperSport is delighted that the occasion will be marked by the two titanic rugby nations doing battle at the famous Ellis Park Stadium.<\/p>

This is the same venue where the Springboks beat the All Blacks to win the 1995 World Cup, barely one year into democracy. It was a moment that personified the country\u2019s transition into unity, with the late former President Nelson Mandela handing over the Webb Ellis Cup to then-Springbok captain Francois Pienaar.<\/p>

It is also 30 years since the Springboks played the All Blacks for the first time after South Africa\u2019s first democratic elections in 1994.<\/p>

The SuperSport CEO held talks with the South African Rugby Union as well as Minister Gayton McKenzie to create facilitate this celebration.\u00a0<\/p>
