“This gives everyone in KZN a chance to take part,” enthuses Max Oliva, MD of SPAR KZN.
“Traditionally the challenge is confined geographically to Durban and Pietermaritzburg, which means so many of our loyal customers and their families around KZN are unable to participate. Now the Virtual Challenge means that whether you are in the berg, the bush, or on the beach or anywhere in between, you can take part, that gives us all something to look forward to in these rather difficult times,” added Oliva.
