ACDP congratulates Springboks on their victory over France

Oct 16, 2023

The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Springboks on their nail-biting 29-28 victory over France in Paris last night. South Africa’s World Cup Rugby hopes are flaming brightly with their remarkable quarterfinal win.

Despite heavy competition from France who were not only the hosts of the tournament but playing in their capital city, the Boks’ sportsmanship, spirit, and determination won them the game in the end. We look forward to another amazing match in the Boks’ semi-final game against England this coming Saturday, 21 October 2023.
