00:00 We've already won the World Cup in 2019.
00:02 It's not about us as players anymore.
00:04 What can we play?
00:06 We always play for South Africa, but we wanted to make sure that
00:08 this one is for the people of South Africa.
00:11 This one is for every single person in South Africa, rich, poor.
00:15 It doesn't matter.
00:16 And it doesn't matter where you come from because of the team that we have,
00:20 which is a very diverse team, which is very beautiful as well.
00:23 We all come from different walks of life, different races.
00:27 I know this win will inspire a lot of people,
00:29 but it's not going to change how people are in circumstance.
00:32 But for us as players, it's going to give us a platform
00:35 that we can open more opportunities, like with our foundation,
00:39 the works that we do around South Africa.
00:40 So, yeah, we really hope this doesn't end in a little bit of celebration
00:45 for a week. And it needs to do more.
