Doha, Qatar: The South African community in Qatar came together in a vibrant celebration of their culture and heritage on October 4, 2025 in Doha as part of the Culturally South African Heritage Day festivities.
The event coincided with a thrilling Boktown gathering, where expatriates cheered on the Springboks to a 29–27 victory over Argentina’s Los Pumas, securing the Rugby Championship title for the second consecutive year.
Hosted at the iconic Public House, the event welcomed former Springbok rugby legends AJ Venter and Gio Aplon, alongside representatives from Brand South Africa, the official marketing agency dedicated to promoting South Africa’s global reputation and competitiveness.
South Africans, affectionately known as “Saffas,” donned green-and-gold sporting gear and traditional attire, enjoyed authentic South African cuisine such as braaivleis (barbecue), and home grown entertainment and music.
Sport has long been a unifying force in South Africa’s history, bridging divides in a once-fragmented nation. “
