Generous donation for Friendship Games

Umongo Petroleum and the George Ramalu Memorial Trust have once again displayed their commitment to the development of sport and social upliftment in their recent venture to sponsor the Friendship Games that takes place annually among several school sport organisations.

The games received a generous sponsorship from Umongo Petroleum and the George Ramalu Memorial Trust. The tournament caters for various codes of sport including soccer, netball, volleyball, table tennis and chess in the divisions of 11, 13, 15 and 17 boys and girls.

All schools will be part of the tournament. Pupils and players will have an opportunity to play at school and district level. Selected teams from each district will then participate in a gala day of finals on Saturday, August 25.

The final will be held in the Tonver area and will commence at 8:30am.

Chairman of the GRMT, Jace Nair, indicated that their partnership with the school sporting structures to the tune of a whopping R75, 000 was a culmination of a series of meetings and was in keeping with the overall vision of the trust. Boston Moonsamy of Umongo Petroleum was excited about the new partnership with the school organisations.

Both these leaders re-iterated the fact that the late sporting icon, George Ramalu was passionate about sport, sporting and social upliftment and that he would have given this partnership his ultimate blessings.

Further ventures between NPOs, corporates and school sporting organisations are part of the directive of SASCOC, who are of the firm view that all development and junior sport should be conducted via school structures.
