‘OUR SUPPORT IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE NEXT GENERATION’ - FAIRTREE

Jacques van Tonder, an Equity Analyst at Fairtree and a senior Protea men’s hockey player, delivered the keynote speech at the opening function of the Super 12. He said:

“It is Fairtree’s honor to be the proud sponsor of this tournament for the next three years, a highlight on the South African school sports calendar. We are proud to support the celebration of sporting excellence.

At Fairtree, the Super 12 is far more than a sporting event. It embodies many of the values that define us in pursuit of excellence and unwavering integrity, commitment to growth through dedication, the importance of authentic relationships and the deep belief in the power of community and family.

Fairtree believes sport plays an important role in the forming of character. The lessons learned on the astro like discipline, teamwork and leadership are the same characteristics that equip young people to achieve success beyond school in all aspects of life.

Through supporting school sport, we strive to create opportunities where young talent can grow and flourish on and off the field. Fairtree is committed to values-driven investment and long-term impact. In much the same way, our support of this tournament is an investment in the next generation.“
