The Lions visit to Sefikeng was in partnership with insurance broker and risk management company, Marsh Africa; and the British Council South Africa.
“It has been great working with the Lions so far, they are a huge presence in South African rugby,” said Tom Birtwitsle, deputy director at British Council South Africa.
