NIGHT TO REMEMBER | Some gatherings are simply events while others become part of our story.
Madibaz Rugby’s Past to Present fundraising dinner promises to be the latter.
It celebrates the rich heritage of South African rugby by bringing together former Springbok players, coaches and management alongside members of the current national setup for one night only this Thursday.
Held just two days before the Springboks take on the Barbarians in Gqeberha, the evening offers rugby supporters a rare opportunity to experience the game beyond the touchline.
Guests can expect insightful panel discussions, inspiring stories, networking opportunities and an auction in the company of some of the sport’s most respected figures.
Proceeds will go to the Madibaz Rugby Club to help fund its work in unearthing the next generation of talent.
With only 100 seats available, this is one occasion where hesitation will leave you on the sidelines.
