Rassie has done more for our country than any politician could. You make us feel safe knowing that our national treasure is in your hands Rassie. Well done, fully deserved.
Such humility. This man has been a gift. Thank you NWU for seeing his precious ways and his genius. Thank you Rassie for your gift to our beautiful country. It has taken your family and your love for your land that makes us love you. You make us love you ou Broer
These types of speeches are usually packaged, boring affairs; this was different on so many levels, the real Rassie shone through and gave us all such an insight into what makes him tick & the human he is. So good for RSA & rugby in SA to have such a legitimate leader playing such a role!
Congratulations Dr Johan "Rassie" Erasmus! Beautiful moment! True giant of the sport of rugby, son of South Africa! Well deserved! We say Danko! to you and your team for making things happen when the chips were on the table!! Thank you fornthe hard, hard yards and efforts your have had to make as a unit! Salute to you and your staff, team and supporters! Well done and well earned! Best wishes for 2024 and beyond!
It just goes to show that genius comes in many different ways. Rassie represents the best of us all - he knows what he is good at and what he is not good at, and he accepts it with good humour and grace. Thank you, NWU, for showing non-academic people that life is about achievement, not a piece of paper.
Very Humble, and thankful... True leadership. Congratulations Dr... Now we are waiting for Three in a row RWC::: We feel safe and trust the process... Thanks Coach🙌
A role model in humility loved by all South Africans for his great achievements as player and coach of our Springboks spanning over years. Deserves to wear that green & gold blazer with pride. We salute you Rassie 🏅
Coach Rassie... Dr Erasmus..... you deserve every second.. every minute... every moment of this. How is this for being humble. You say you have never been to a graduation ceremony... well, you just had to wait a little. You gave so much of yourself. You deserve this.... NWU.... you are head and shoulders above the rest. You ROCK!! What an awsome day. ❤
@@ermannosorricchiodivalfort4905 Something about our rugby guys ,South Africans have great work ethics, and very humble and God first people. If you meet anyone of them one on one you will be surprised how humble and caring they are
Deep in his heart there is love and deep care for his country and countrymen. We can all feel it. It's undeniable. Simple guy who seeks to improve and do better not just for himself, but for everyone around him. Heart of gold. Well done Rassie. Deserved. Congratulations.
You deserve this honour Rassie so so much, you are a revered figure the rugby world. What you have done for our rugby in SA is almost unbelievable!! You are a great man and be proud of your doctorate, god bless you and your family, and every player of the brilliant boks.
😊Self n oud kovsie,nou in England gevestig maar bly n Bok vir altyd, wil net dankie se Rassie dat jy opreg nederig bly in alles wat jy doen en sê en jouself bly maak nie saak wat ookal op jou pad kom nie! Geweldig trots op jou, jy absoluut verdien die erkening van al jou harde werk! Hou so voort en behou die momentum en gee hulle gas!!
I have no words for this guy, what a true oke. I can see him as president, standing in Parliament barefoot, wysing them to man the F#$%^ up and running around with his speaker playing mandoza. Rassie you are a true patriot to this country, We salute you bro. Keep doing what you are doing.
Rassie, the irony is that without being windgat you are the GOAT , long may that continue. NWU thanks for recognizing what the rest of SA are thinking all the best with 2027
Vrystaaaaat..what a mán you are..from a Blue Bull..( actually Noord Transvaler)...You one best flankers best all...I can still see you graft deep down in loose scrums..and you could and did run like a centre..Seeing your legendary road develop and whàt you doing for our country is indeed a privilege..Thanks to NW University..our own Stellenbosch..
Rassie, you are the man. Someone said in the comments that you are a National Treasure. I couldn’t have said it better. A man of fierce inner strength and great humility. All of South Africa loves you
Russia U should be nominated and become the " Minster of Sport " in the new Government . Well done now " Dr Rassie Erasmus " .. u deserve every moment of this !!
Dr Rassie ...maar jy lyk so smart ...geluk ...you deserve the acknowledgement...God Bless 🙌 and may all your dreams come true...Reach ✨️ for the Stars 🌟 Rassie our South African Springbok .... Beatrix Strydom
Doc Craven was an acedemic that earned his doctorate before he became a rugby genius. DOC RASSIE WHO HAS EARNED HIS DOCTORATE BECAUSE HE IS A RUGBY GENIUS.
Congratulation ,to me Rassie was one of the best loose forwards when he played for South Africa. Always loved him with Andre Venter as a loose trio,underrated players.
Take a bow Dr Rassie. No one deserves this honour more than you. THANK YOU and the enrire Springbok squad for showing the world that South African citizens are a proud nation and not a representation of the government who seek to divide us 👏 ❤
What a helluva Guy this Dr Rassie unquestionably is What a pioneer in taking ‘off the charts risks’ to make a plan (nobody knows about, or even understands!) work whilst having both the Faith AND Trust in his People, to make it work… Super phenomenal, humble and a Leader of Men and Women in Sport Globally How fortunate can the Game of RF be, and South Afrika, the Bokke, in particular to be safe in his most unusually capable hands WELL DONE Rassie Immensely proud of you our Boerklong Seun from Bloem! 👊🔥 🪖
and then HUGE accolades to NWU in taking the lead in such deserved recognition Its a great and leading statement obo (on behalf of) your reverred tertiary institution, carrying tremendous weight where it really matters…TOUCHÉ POTCH, their Dept of Coaching Sport Science‼️🥂🍷💫💯 👊🔥 🪖
Now let’s nominate him for one of the Presidential orders happening in April next year. He deserves the order of something for his contribution to South Africa. How do we nominate the great Rassie? A stadium needs to also be named after him, while he is alive.
The only person of late who truly deserves an honorary degree.....Imagine the possibility of our country if we had politicians with the same caliber of character as Dr.Erasmus
Dr Rassie 👏👏👏 Our national treasure. Congratulations!! We are all so inspired and proud of you.
Rassie has done more for our country than any politician could. You make us feel safe knowing that our national treasure is in your hands Rassie. Well done, fully deserved.
