Video: Boks dance at Heathrow after flight is cancelled
This has got to be the best way to capture the spirit of our Springboks...
There's something special about South Africans amidst a problem.
It's like resilience is built into our DNA. When problems arise, we try our best to find the silver lining - and our sportsmen tend to be the leaders in this department.

While waiting at the airport with her family, she admitted she was tired, dirty, and upset about the cancelled flight. Not knowing when the flight would be rescheduled, she was surprised to see a sight for sore eyes.

Of course, we see Siya Kolisi jiving to the beats and uplifting the mood.
