Sports content creator and self-proclaimed Minister of Champions, Rory Petzer, reminded South Africans that they have a big weekend ahead of them. Not only will Bafana Bafana be playing, but also the Proteas, Springboks, and Springbok Women.

On Thursday, 4 September, 2025, Rory took to his TikTok account and said to his followers, whom he calls Champions:

"I need you to focus for the next 80-odd hours!"

He explained that at 6 pm on Friday, 5 September 2025, Bafana Bafana will face Lesotho's national soccer team to qualify for the World Cup. The World Cup will take place across three North American countries—the United States, Canada, and Mexico—from 11 June to 19 July, 2026.

"We are at the top of our World Cup qualifier log," said Rory.

The enthusiastic content creator then shared that at 9.05am on Saturday, 6 September, 2025, people would have to wake up early to start a fire for a braai to prepare for the Springboks' match against the All Blacks at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.

"We have never beaten them at Eden Park. They haven't lost a game at Eden Park since 1994."

Unfortunately, the Springboks have not tasted victory at the sports venue since 1937.

Then, at 12pm on Sunday, 7 September, 2025, the Proteas and England will take to the grounds for the third ODI, with South Africa already leading 2-0. Finally, on the same day at 5.45pm, the Springbok Women will face France at the cinch Stadium at Franklin's Gardens in England for the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Rory spoke about the nail-biting game:

South Africans prepare for the weekend

Hundreds of excited South Africans flocked to the comment section to express their anticipation for the weekend's sports events.

@siphokazimatholen stated with a smile:

"I need to invest in a green jersey just to cover all sports codes, then do wash and wear when it's a hectic weekend like this."

@minhos_bsf exclaimed in the comments:

"I absolutely love seeing the Springbok women get the hype they deserve! It's definitely going to be a big weekend for South Africa."

@novanostalgia humorously told South Africans:

"They need to add country responsibility leave to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. Four days per cycle, at least."

"I was stressing this weekend because English soccer is on pause. They went on an international break. But now! I have something to be excited for this weekend, let's go."

@brandosdasilva jokingly added in the comment section:

"My friend, are we braaing the whole day? My budget is against it. Can you please send me your location? I have Uber money, but no return funds."

@naturally.tm enjoyed how Rory delivered the news, writing:

"You’re giving the teacher who stands in front of the bus during a school trip, making announcements when we reach our destination. I love it!"
