Rassie on Mapimpi's family tragedy

Briefly News previously reported that South Africa's Rugby national team coach Rassie Erasmus was moved to tears when talking about Makazole Mapimpi's devastating family tragedy in a viral video on social media.

Mapimpi is one of the important figures in the Springboks team, but his background story is nothing to write home about. However, he didn't let that stop him from making it to the top in rugby, and now he's a two-time world champion.
