BMW South Africa (Pty) Ltd was announced as official vehicle sponsor of the Springboks by the South African Rugby Union (SARU) at Turbine Hall in Johannesburg earlier today.
The announcement, coming just two months before the kick off of the Springboks’ international season, will see the BMW brand mark adorning the left leg of the players’ shorts in official Test matches until the end of 2015. It is BMW’s first foray into international rugby sponsorship globally.
“I’m fighting this illness with my faith. And my faith is strong.”
Those were the words of former Springbok hero, Joost van der Westhuizen.
He talked exclusively for the first time about the “death sentence”, which doctors informed him about four weeks ago.
