MATSAPHA – The Manzini Regional Football Association (MRFA) has cemented a two-year partnership with Viva Beverages.

The official launch, which took place at Viva Beverages’ offices two days ago, saw the commitment confirmed by the company’s Operations Officer, Yenzokuhle Nxumalo.

The deal is set to run for two years with an option to renew and includes the provision of a large consignment of bottled Viva Still Water, among other details.

“We are happy to be part of this partnership. We look forward to a fruitful relationship with the Manzini Regional Football Association (MRFA). We hope the deal will be renewed after its expiry date at the end of two years,” Nxumalo stated.

Meanwhile, MRFA Chairman Vusie Hall expressed his gratitude towards the initiative.

 “The Manzini Executive Committee is grateful to Viva. We promise to uphold the factory’s standards and protect their name. We will be able to even quench our thirst with Viva water, which will help cool down tensions during meetings,” Hall commented.

Nestled within the dynamic industrial town of Matsapha, Eswatini, Viva Beverages emerges as a beacon of health and wellness through its offering of premium purified still water. With a steadfast commitment to promoting hydration as a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle, Viva Beverages merges the essence of purity with unparalleled taste to bring an exceptional drinking experience to health-conscious consumers.

Viva has also been the official hydration partner of the Alphsz-B2B Cycle Tour, a free-timed 240km cycling odyssey from Ngwenya Border Gate to Lavumisa Border Gate, for at least two years now.
