Proteas reaffirm SA's resilience

November 17, 2025

'HULLE weet nie wat ons weet nie'. The iconic phrase from South Africa's former UFC champion Dricus du Plessis has become the undisputed theme for the country's national sports teams. It represents a form of resilience that only South African teams possess, born from players having faced countless challenges on the way to their ultimate goals.

The Springbok rugby team have done it on consecutive weekends to claim victories with only 14 players on the pitch, while Bafana Bafana qualified for the Fifa World Cup despite having three points deducted for fielding an ineligible player. Now it was the turn of Temba Bavuma' Proteas Test cricket side. They may be world champions, but facing India at their citadel, Eden Gardens in Kolkata, is arguably the toughest challenge in the game.
