Craig James, Inanda Polo manager, said they are excited to have partnered with Cell C.
“Development teams will get to test their skills against international experienced players.
“The development of polo to appeal to a broader audience and for players who might otherwise be unable to participate has always been an important priority for us.
“Despite the challenges, we are pleased to be able to host this event again this year,” he stated.
Team Cell C South Africa will be captained by Donono Lithula, who has been riding since 2009.
He joined Bropolo at the end of the 2014 season as the youngest horse rider.
