WATCH | Gwijo serenade greets Bok darling Mapimpi during a spot of shopping

Springbok winger Makazole Mapimpi was doing a spot of shopping in East London when the store burst into Gwijo song at the sight of the speedster at the till.

Mapimpi's World Cup campaign came to a premature end when he sustained a fractured cheekbone and eye socket injury in the Boks' pool game against Tonga.His departure from France made way for his close friend and teammate, Bok outside centre Lukhanyo Am, to join the defending champions, who take on England in the World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France on Saturday.

Am, who is said to be looking good in training, is yet to feature for the Boks at the global showpiece with a potential two matches remaining in the tournament for the South Africans. The Springboks are on course to become the first team to win the Webb Ellis Cup four times, however, a grudge match against fellow 2019 finalists England stands in their way.Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
