Sanlam Boland Rugby

By partnering with the Boland Rugby Union, Sanlam aims to play a meaningful and positive role in shaping the future of the Boland region, both in terms of sport and community development. With so many schools and clubs benefiting from the injection of capital, development support and expertise, it will allow the sport to thrive in the area. More importantly, give talented young people from vulnerable backgrounds a way to transcend those circumstances. Those people often then reinvest in the communities they came from.
