MBABANE – Blessed is the hand that gives than the one that takes.

The above adage holds true for reputable financial service provider, Select Limited, after sponsoring the eagerly-awaited annual Wafa Wafa Half Marathon to the tune of E20 000. The sponsorship launch, which was attended by Umbutfo Eswatini Defence Force (UEDF) Sports Director Sipho Vilakati, UEDF Athletics Chairperson Alpheus Ngcamphalala, Secretary General (SG) Londiwe Dlamini and Member Mphumelelo Maziya, was held at the company’s premises in Mbabane on Wednesday.

The sponsorship was presented by Select Limited Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bheki Dlamini, in the presence of staff members, including Customer Service Manager Nomcebo Ginindza, who said it was a great pleasure to host the UEDF athletics working committee as they had a long history.

“UEDF and Select Limited have a relationship that dates back many years and most importantly, UEDF is one of Select’s major clients. Select Limited is delighted today to announce the sponsorship of E20 000 towards the Wafa Wafa Half Marathon being hosted by UEDF Athletics Committee,” Dlamini said.
