With a sincere dedication to supporting the local community and promoting sports’ growth, Ekapa Mines took the initiative to support the Yorkshire Cricket Club, further solidifying the connection between local businesses and the community.
Last Saturday marked a significant event for the Yorkshire Cricket Club when Ekapa Mines, a prominent name in the mining industry, generously sponsored tracksuits for five of the club’s teams, including the women’s team. The importance of this gesture was not overlooked by those present, signifying a crucial moment in the club’s history.
Khonjiwe Mjacu, representing Ekapa Mines, played a crucial role in bringing this sponsorship to fruition. With a sincere dedication to supporting the local community and promoting sports’ growth, Ekapa Mines took the initiative to support the Yorkshire Cricket Club, further solidifying the connection between local businesses and the community.
The Yorkshire Cricket Club experienced a moment of immense pride and gratitude during the tracksuit handover. Thabo Maupa, the dedicated coach of the ladies’ team, accepted the tracksuits on behalf of the players, symbolising the unity and determination that define the club’s spirit. The smiles and camaraderie shared on that day vividly expressed the club’s appreciation for the sponsorship.
While the photo capturing the tracksuit handover highlighted the enthusiasm and optimism surrounding the partnership, it didn’t include an essential figure: Mbulelo Bosman, the Chairman of the Yorkshire Cricket Club.
Mr. Bosman did, however, take the opportunity to convey, through the DFA, his deepest appreciation to Khonjiwe of Ekapa, recognising the tremendous value that this sponsorship brings to the club. He emphasised that Ekapa Mines’ support goes beyond clothing; it is an investment in the future of young, talented cricketers.
This sponsorship holds particular significance for the Yorkshire Cricket Club, marking their second clothing sponsorship since De Beers sponsored the club in 2000. Ekapa Mines’ generous act not only underscores their commitment to the local community but also reflects their belief in the club’s potential to thrive and make an impact in the cricketing world.
Now well-equipped and motivated, thanks to the generosity of Ekapa Mines, the Yorkshire Cricket Club looks forward to achieving great success on the field.
With their new tracksuits and a strong sense of unity, the club is poised to foster the spirit of cricket in Yorkshire.
