The number 4 jersey Springbok player, Eben Etzebeth has been trending ever since he was part of the two times champion winning team that secured the Rugby World Cup.
Since then Eben has been making headlines and trending for all the proper reasons as any champion should be. The Cape Town born rugby player shared the news of a baby on the way and within a blink of an eye we saw his new Mohawk inspired hairstyle go viral.
While the Springboks were on the trophy tour showing love to the masses of their rainbow nation, we saw him show love to a young supporter of his, Siya Dlamini who is responsible for Eben’s new admired nickname ‘Elizabhedi’.
Recently, the nation has learned the ululating skill that Eben possess. In a TikTok video, the star is seen doing it effortlessly and proudly as requested by his supporters in passing.
While this came as a shock to many because of how difficult it is to attempt ululating.
Many TikTok users shared that Eben is one to bring along to all the traditional ceremonies that will be taking place in December.
TikTok user said “he attends imigidi with Siya this one😂❤️.”
“Now he is Lilizabed 😭,” reacted another user.
Reflecting on Eben’s character, a supporter shared “Eben is so cool. Imagine bumping into someone bathi kikiza and you do it, but they say do it again and you still do it🔥😂.”
While another touched on the true essence and unity that the Springboks brought out to Mzansi on the trophy tour stating “the trophy tours showed all races standing next to each other in the heart of the cities, fearless and victorious; proud to share a common victory.”
