BlitzBokke.com joins South Africans and people from all over the world in wishing the Father of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela a very happy 94th birthday!

Tata (Father in the Xhosa language) you are not only a statesman who is celebrated for leading our nation out of tumultuous period in our history, but you have done so much for sport in South Africa and in particular for the rugby community.
