MANZINI – Swaziland Royal Insurance Corporation (SRIC) has done it again by
pouring in hundreds of thousands for Under 13s.
The official launch of this year’s sponsorship took place at Mavuso Sports
Centre on Wednesday, where the company presented a cheque of E208 000. The
sponsorship reflects an increase of E38 000 from last year’s package, and will
be competed for by eight Under 13 teams and four girls’ sides from schools
from all four regions of the country.
SRIC’s Marketing and Communications Manager, Sizwe Shongwe said they opted to
increase the sponsorship this year after it was agreed that girls should be
included in the tournament. He said his company was more into development of
sports that had the potential to grow, which explained their involvement with
golf and the Under 13s.
Future
“We are looking into the future. We realise that the youngsters can only be
encouraged if they have something to play for. SRIC is committed to the
development of sports at grassroots level and we are in this project for the
long haul,” he said.
Founder and patron of the Scara Thindwa Foundation, Ephraem ‘Scara’ Thindwa,
said they were very proud of the partnership with SRIC. He said he could see
that the company had not just entered into a relationship with them, but were
actually vested in the youth.
“We started small and we have now grown with SRIC into a big partnership. We
are very grateful for the increase in the sponsorship as it means the future of
these children will be secured,” he said.
