The pupils stand united in a spirited sing-along that captures the heart of South African school sport.

 

Pretoria, South Africa (13 August 2026) – If there’s one thing South African school sport knows how to do, it’s school spirit and the boys from Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool, better known as Affies, certainly brought theirs.

In a video doing the rounds, the Affies boys can be seen standing shoulder to shoulder, arms wrapped around each other as they belt out a song together.

It’s the kind of moment that captures what school sport is all about: belonging, friendship, pride and backing your teammates, long before anyone steps onto the field.

With a big clash against Pretoria Boys High on the horizon, the Affies boys appear to be making sure their voices are warmed up and their school spirit is firmly switched on.

Whether you’re there for the sport, the rivalry or simply the atmosphere, these are the moments that make South African school sport so special.
