Jomo Biyela with Phakwe Group chairman Thabiso Tenyane and the new players The new signings were unveiled during a ceremony in Richards Bay on Wednesday where club chairman Jomo Biyela also announced a three-year partnership deal worth R100-million with Phakwe Gas.
Speaking at the event, Biyela revealed that the club will only get R60-million from the deal while the other R40-million will be used to uplift the community of Richards Bay. “R20-million per season goes straight to the sponsorship, which is 60 and 40 is the amount that we want to utilise ,” Biyela told reporters.“Obviously, it won’t come to the club, I think we must clarify that before you say I’m walking around with R100-million. It’s R20-million per season, over three seasons. The R40-million is the amount that we want to use to build sports facilities, a gym…just like a village.
Biyela and the new sponsors will be hoping that the cash injection will help the club finish in a better position next season.
