Captain Siya Kolisi credited the victory to the unwavering support of the South African public, emphasizing that the win was achieved for the people of South Africa, including those who attended the matches, watched on television, and those who could not afford to follow the games. Kolisi acknowledged the challenges faced after the previous week's defeat at Ellis Park but noted the strong fan turnout as a source of inspiration. The series is now tied 1–1, with the final Test set to take place in Soweto.
