Ermelo Toyota powers Black Aces
A benefit of the sponsorship is that Black Aces will host two soccer clinics in Wesselton, Ermelo – one during October 2013 (juniors) and one in March 2014 (for the seniors).
Mpumalanga Black Aces Football Club are delighted to announce that Ermelo Toyota will be the “Official Vehicle Partner” of Aces, courtesy of a three-car sponsorship.
The partnership, announced at a presentation ceremony in Ermelo on Thursday, saw coach Clive Barker being presented with a new 2,5lt Toyota Fortuner, while two Toyota Etios sedans were presented to the clubs management.
Noeline Loubser, Ermelo Toyota’s CEO and Dealer Principal said that the partnership was significant and their largest ever donation.
“We have, through the years, sponsored various sportsmen and women and numerous schools, show events, festivals, boere dae, Mrs SA, churches, and 4×4 days, and we firmly believe the time is right to support the iconic Mpumalanga Black Aces.
“To celebrate Aces’ promotion back to the Premier Soccer League, we immediately understood the significance of supporting Mpumalanga’s favourite soccer team.
Like the Rugby World Cup and in particular the Springboks, have united the nation in 1994, we believe this sponsorship is long overdue and will unite the town and our loyal Ermelo Toyota customers,” said Loubser.

Clive Barker and the Mpumalanga Black Aces players will attend these clinics and will give valuable training tips to the local upcoming soccer players.
“Especially gratifying is that the partnership is the first for Aces from a local Mpumalanga business and we hope this will be the catalyst for more support from local companies,” said George Morfou, Aces co-chairman.
Mario Morfou, Aces co-chairman welcomed the sponsorship with Ermelo Toyota and assured fans that this new partnership had given Aces’ the motivation to grow their brand within the Mpumalanga province.
