Some lucky little rugby enthusiasts had a day they’ll never forget when DHL Stormers hooker, Joseph Dweba, took a special moment just for them!

Cape Town, South Africa (13 May 2025) – You know it is a special day when you get to meet your favourite rugby star and get to rub shoulders with them too!

DHL Stormers hooker Joseph Dweba was captured on video, making several little fans very happy when he took a moment to interact with them.

In the clip shared by Vodacom United Rugby Championship, Dweba is seen greeting the fans seated in the stadium before reaching for a little boy and autographing his Stormers t-shirt and lifting him back up to the overjoyed crowd. Not stopping there, Dweba also signed a rugby ball for another ecstatic fan.

The smiles on the fans’ faces speak volumes, and it’s so pleasing to see how a simple interaction brought them uncontainable joy.

“A moment they’ll remember forever,” the post was captioned.

The post, now with over 179K views, was met with just as much love from social media users who praised the Stormers and commended Dweba for placing a future rugby player in the little boy’s heart.

“Just a small gesture, but it will have lasting memories in the kids’ minds. Well done. Very special,” another user also commented.

Though the 2025 Cape Town Carnival is some months away, we already know a storm is brewing! The Stormers themselves are set to join the iconic parade so the city will get to celebrate with their favourite rugby squad!

Cape Town, South Africa (03 December 2024) — Stormers fans have just been given even more of a good reason to attend the 2025 Cape Town Carnival thanks to the news that the city’s favourite rugby squad will be joining in on the festivities!

The beloved carnival is known for uniting Capetonians from all walks of life. It’s largely the city’s ultimate display of creativity and community—everything from costumes to floats and performances give local creatives a chance to shine. With dancers, performers, firefighters and floats all on vibrant display, crowds are spoilt with choice for their favourite acts.

But next year, the Stormers will be a sure contender for crowd-favourite. The 15th Cape Town Carnival will see the iconic team feature as part of the festivities for the first time!

On Saturday 15 March, Green Point’s Fanwalk is set to come alive with the squad on their dedicated ‘Taking the Cape by Storm float’ so carnival attendees who double as rugby die-hards can see their heroes up close.

“As a proud Capetonian, I know how much the Carnival means to the City,” shares team captain Dan du Plessis.

“So we cannot wait to be part of the 15th anniversary. Some of the guys in the squad have already started practising their moves and are excited to show them off to everyone when we hit the Fanwalk next year.”

A mini cheerleader is bringing joy to both the DHL Dancers and crowds; stealing the show as a little star in the making!

Cape Town, South Africa (14 May 2024)—A mini cheerleader named Ella has stolen the show many times after she joined the DHL Dancers cheer team!

Little Ella is only six-years-old, but she’s already proven her natural stage presence and dance skills as she helps crowds get ready to root their hearts out during rugby matches. Word on the street is, she’s South Africa’s youngest cheerleader.

Her mom, Jenny Beck, who is the head choreographer and manager of the DHL dancers shares that Ella has essentially grown up in the dance studio that Jenny runs.

“She loves dancing almost as much as I do, and because she takes so many classes with me, she is really good for her age,” beams Jenny.

Ella joined the cheer team at the end of 2023.

“I thought it would be a fun addition to add a mini cheerleader to our team and and the crowd has absolutely loved her.”

Speaking to the world of cheerleading and choreography, Jenny is a proud manager and choreographer of the team.

“My favourite part of the job is seeing my visions come together and hearing the crowd go crazy when our dancers run out on to the field. Obviously supporting our boys on the field and being part of the game day atmosphere is also something I will never get tired of.”

Of Ella’s role as mini-cheerleader, Jenny thinks its a great way to showcase that dance is for everyone.

“We perform just before the players run out and we are an essential part of getting the crowd excited before kick off. Having a child perform with us helps to show that dance is for everyone and even our younger fans can get involved in supporting our local rugby team. Dance is for everyone, and so is rugby.”
