Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus, who not too long ago was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the North-West for his contribution to rugby, is now going to receive one of the highest national honours from the presidency.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to award Erasmus the Order of Ikhamanga during a ceremony on Tuesday next week.
The announcement was made on Thursday by Chancellor of the National Orders Phindile Baleni, who said Erasmus would be among 40 recipients honoured this year.
