Appeal to all South Africans and Springbok Supporters

Sorry to those non South Africans on EF, but I couldn't resist posting this appeal

Appeal to all South Africans and Springbok Supporters

This is a patriotic appeal to Springbok supporters and proud South Africans all over the world, and particularly those in London and England. This is a very important message and requires your support to spread the word and make it happen.

This Friday, 19th October, and Saturday, 20 October we call upon all South Africans in the Middle East and the rest of the world to wear green and gold in public, especially on their way to and from work. Whether it is your Springbok rugby jersey or just a South Africa t-shirt - make sure it's visible.So even if you are going shopping, to the beach, the desert, fishing, whatever, please wear green and gold!

This is in response to a similar call made by Thabo Mbeki earlier in the week to South Africans at home, to show our very proud support and solidarity for John Smit and the team as they take on England this Saturday in the Rugby World Cup final.

Let us show the world that we stand as one - 100% behind the men in Green and Gold. Wear your colours not with arrogant pride but with a sense of unity and how far our nation has come!

Most importantly: as a matter of urgency please forward this message by email, SMS or word of mouth to all the South Africans you know. Time is of the essence. Send it back home to family and friends so they can send it on to others abroad. Let's show the world.

This is not only for a bit of fun - press and other organisations have been informed to capture the day. This show of support will hopefully be broadcast and the boys in France will gain a sense of the immense support behind them.

All the best, and most of all, enjoy the game on Saturday!

Come on Bokke!!!!!!

Re: Appeal to all South Africans and Springbok Supporters

Hmmm, so gawking around the office, seeing all the folk wearing their pristinely-ironed white shirts, I'm getting that claustrophobic feeling that I'm stuck in the middle of dozens of English supporters!
