RMB and RowSA – a powerful partnership
RMB’s partnership with RowSA not only enables our abled and differently abled national athletes to compete and prepare internationally, but also benefits various grassroots initiatives to empower underprivileged communities and schools that feed the rowing talent pipeline.
RMB has committed to growing the sport at all levels – from development rowing at school, university and grassroots level, to assisting with equipment, facilities and coaching.
As part of the RMB sponsorship agreement, RMB is also the named sponsor of five regattas across the country: RMB Universities’ Boat Race, RMB Buffalo Regatta, RMB VLC National Sprints Regatta, SA Schools Rowing Championships and SA National Rowing Championships.
As the official Development Officer of SA Rowing, Virginia Mabaso is playing an indispensable part in putting rowing in South Africa on the map and growing the next generation rowers for future success.
