Sasol plans to end it’s sponsorship of the Springboks at the end of the year

Sasol is planning to end it’s sponsorship of Springbok rugby at the end of this year. Don’t worry, it’s got nothing to do with the team’s dodgy start to the 2010 Vodacom Tri-Nations (and we’re going to bounce back) but rather it’s due to current market conditions.

The current six-year R150 million sponsorship will come to an end in December 2010. Sasol sponsors the Springboks, the Springbok Sevens team, the Springbok “A” team and also the Under-20 Springboks. Who will be the new sponsor of South African rugby? It’s a lucrative and prestigious partnership to have.
