South Africa’s Proteas Test team, now officially World Test Champions, are coming home, and Scottburgh locals are among the thousands set to welcome them with open arms.
The homecoming celebration takes place at King Shaka International Airport on Tuesday, 23 September 2025, between 17:30 and 18:30. And while the team is landing just north of Scottburgh, the passion and excitement are already surging through the town.
Why This Moment Matters
- Cricket has long been part of the Scottburgh community, from local leagues to beachside banter.
- The Proteas’ win is a win for every small town and big heart across Mzansi.
- Temba Bavuma and the team didn’t just win a trophy, they won the hearts of the nation.
- Seeing the ICC Test Championship Mace up close is a moment every fan will cherish.
- It’s a rare chance to show appreciation and give the champions the hero’s welcome they deserve.
