Durban is set to erupt in celebration this Tuesday, 23 September 2025, as the Proteas Men’s Cricket Team, touch down at King Shaka International Airport. Cricket fans from all corners of KwaZulu-Natal are invited to join what promises to be an unforgettable homecoming for a team that has not only made history, but done so with heart, passion and undeniable South African spirit.
From 17:30 to 18:30, the arrivals terminal will transform into a sea of green and gold, as the nation welcomes back Temba Bavuma and the rest of the victorious squad. The atmosphere will be electric, live music, chants, cheers, and of course, a glimpse of the coveted ICC Test Championship Mace, now proudly in South African hands.
This isn’t just a sports moment, it’s a cultural one. A chance to unite behind a team that’s brought honour to the nation on the global stage. It’s a celebration of hard-earned success, of resilience, of belief. For the city of Durban, this is more than a photo op. It’s a moment of shared pride.
King Shaka Airport will be the place to be, and whether you’re a lifelong cricket fanatic or simply a proud South African, there’s no better way to spend your Tuesday evening than surrounded by fans, friends, and champions.
