Real World Champ helps light up the SA20 final

The Betway SA20 final produced an unforgettable showdown as MI Cape Town beat defending 2-time champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape to claim their maiden title.

SuperSport Real World Champion star, Olympic photographer Johann Meintjes, was finely positioned by the boundary to capture the explosive batting, thrilling bowling and an exhilarating atmosphere at the DP World Wanderers Stadium.

Meintjes became the first photographer who is a wheel-chair user to cover the Olympic Games when he was part of the accredited photographers at the 2024 Paris Games.

Enjoy his photographic montage of the SA20 spectacle and be sure to watch his episode of Real World Champions.
