The Kensington community in Gqeberha considered a man their hero after he shared the Springboks's first rugby match with them. The man was given a round of applause for plugging his neighbours with a way to watch the Bokke smash their opponents out of the ballpark.
@djphotobooths trended on TikTok after his video showed a strong spirit of Ubuntu. He took "love thy neighbour" to new heights when he shared one of Mzansi's most important moments: the Springbok match with Scotland.
You can tell by how the gents were sitting, some with their bevs and others on their camp chairs, that he did them a big solid by using a projector to project that important match on his wall. Even kids from the hood got a chance to enjoy watching their favourite players like Siya Kolisi chase the pig skin and thrash Scotland.

"I've wanted to do a drive-thru movie cinema for years. My business Dj Photo Booths, is in the entertainment industry, so it feels good to do this for my ex-community. I came from Summerstrand to do this setup in Kensington.
"The 23rd of September will be the last one I can do myself as I'm leaving for Germany and France on the 25th of September and will be returning on the 1st of November 2023. The community loved it, it would've been even better if we had the support from police or traffic officers to block the road just for those 2 hours. After all, our Springboks are playing their hearts out for us," he said.
