SENWES : PROUD SPONSOR
The partnership between North West Cricket and the Senwes Group goes back several years , covering team , home ground and development programmes . The continued and dynamic partnership also allows the partners to venture into new and exciting programmes to further enhance and impact the sport and the broader community .
said :
Francois Strydom , CEO of the Senwes Group
“ This sponsorship is about so much more than mere financial support . It is a way in which we plow back into the communities and interact with our stakeholders . As an agri-business we are part of the integrated agricultural value chain and Senwes strives to make a worthwhile impact in the more than 300 rural towns in which we conduct our business . These towns and communities represent the very fiber from which our country is made up and as such also serves as the basis from which we will build a sustainable and resilient future ”.
Strydom also highlighted the importance of developing well rounded and balanced citizens , who will excel not only in sport , but in life in general .
NORTH WEST CRICKET : GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
North West Cricket prides itself in developing a stronger women ’ s pipeline and together with the Senwes aims to relaunch the Senwes Spinners Programme for farm school development and bring to the fore the girl child .
The Senwes Spinners Programme has been around for more than 10 years and CEO , Francois Strydom , describes it as a programme that was developed to keep families together . “ We saw the struggle of how the farm parents had to move their kids to their relatives in the townships for better opportunities and had to find a way to fill the gaps in the farm education system including sport and healthy meal elements ”, said Strydom . North West Cricket CEO , HP Prinsloo , said : “ We have a very strong and competitive pipeline , with girls from the hub system in the team as young as 13 years . Six of our players are still at school , with the matriculants unable to join us today ”.
“ It is exciting times for women ’ s cricket all around the country , as Cricket South Africa ( CSA ) aims to professionalise women ’ s cricket , and partnerships like the one with Senwes will ensure a sustainable team going forward ”, concluded Prinsloo .
Prinsloo thanked Senwes for their partnership , noting how the sponsorship increased morale amongst the team members and has motivated the team to continue to perform even better .
The Senwes Dragons Women ’ s team attended the event and expressed their excitement for the upcoming season , and their hopes to represent the Momentum Proteas in future and competing in the ICC Women ’ s World Cup next year .
