Opening Ceremony
South Africa’s flag-bearers Chad le Clos and Phumelela Mbande leading out the men and women from Mzansi with pride.South Africa were listed at No 178 for the ‘Parade of Nations’ procession, which was according to the Japanese alphabet, with 205 countries in total walking out to showcase their cultural identity – although it had to be done with no spectators in the magnificent arena due to Covid-19 protocols.
Swimmer Le Clos and hockey player Mbande held the South African flag-pole and waved it around, with the team members clad in black and white striped shirts that resembled zebras, coupled with khaki shorts and veldskoen shoes.
