Springbok captain Siya Kolisi brought a special guest to the BrightRock Players Choice Awards held at Hyde Park in Johannesburg on Tuesday evening.
Kolisi invited 15-year-old Lebo Mogoma from Helpmekaar College in Johannesburg to join in the festivities at the annual event.
This came about after Mogoma warmed the hearts of South Africans when a video of him, in tears of appreciation after Kolisi signed his boots during the Springboks’ Champions Tour of the country, went viral.
Remember the schoolboy who cried when his hero @siyakolisi1 signed his boots during the Springboks’ Trophy Tour in Port Elizabeth? #BRPlayersChoice https://t.co/v9OO0Jd39W
