In line with Telkom’s commitment to driving netball development in South Africa, Telkom has also renewed its partnership with Netball South Africa for a further three years. Telkom not only sponsors the league but has also thrown its weight behind the Netball World Cup and is one of the premium sponsors of this global showpiece that will take place in July in Cape Town.
As it has become the new norm, the 2023 TNL will be played across two provinces, with the opening week taking place from April 27 to May 1 at the Ngoako Ramahlodi Sports Complex in Seshego, Polokwane.
“Our relationship with Telkom is growing from strength to strength with every year that passes by. As a federation, we are delighted about their commitment to the growth and development of the sport. Their sponsorship renewal for another three years is a testament to their dedication to the sport, and we appreciate that,” said Netball South Africa President, Cecilia Molokwane.
