Springbok women's rugby player Piwokuhle Nyanda.As the official Get into Rugby development partner, in collaboration with the SA Rugby Union , Engen will be supporting young rugby players when the 2021 Valke Rugby Union Blitz Festival kicks off on Heritage Day on September 24.
“As a longtime supporter of sports development, Engen is proud to back an initiative such as GIR because it will empower our young people with the skills, confidence and self-esteem to chart their own paths, for their families, communities and for their country,” says Bulela Mkandawire, Engen’s brand and sponsorship manager.
And while GIR is certainly about rugby and discovering the rich talent we have in the country, it is also about life skills, leadership and teamwork as well as hard work, dedication and discipline, says Mkandawire. SA Rugby president Mark Alexander, says the organisation is committed to playing its role in helping uplift the young people. “There is a wealth of untapped talent in the country waiting to be discovered and when it is, gems like Lusanda Dumke, Makazole Mapimpi, Lukhanyo Am and many others emerge,” says Alexander. “It's our objective to continue to hold the mantle of representation and inclusivity high to encourage and inspire children from different communities.
