Cheslin Kolbe of South Africa participates in a training session ahead of the Rugby World Cup match between South Africa and Namibia in Toyota, Japan, 27 September 2019.

Despite the break in rugby due to Covid-19, Springboks wing Cheslin Kolbe is keeping busy by raising funds to combat the ongoing pandemic.

The Toulouse stalwart confirmed via his Instagram page on Wednesday that he is raffling off a pair of boots which he wore during South Africa’s Rugby World Cup-winning campaign in Japan last year.

Money raised will be in aid of the Be the Difference Foundation in South Africa, a non-profit organisation who, with Kolbe’s assistance, have been feeding between 600 to 1200 people a day. This includes handing out food parcels and care packages to those in need.

The raffle tickets are R100 (US$5.5) each and the winner will be announced next week.
