The game of sevens is known for its fast-pace with a great spirit from the spectators. This event was characterised by show-casing exhilarating junior sevens rugby talent, which will hopefully continue to be a highlight on the Namibian and international sporting calendars.

Capricorn Group affirmed again that they are proud to be the title sponsor of the tournament.

“It reflects our group’s focus on creating sustainable opportunities in the regions and communities within which we operate. This includes the development of youth for the future of the countries in which we operate, and sport is a powerful mechanism to achieve this. Although our group’s beginnings are deeply rooted in Namibia, we are a regional financial services player, specifically in Botswana and Zambia. I am therefore excited to see that the teams from Zambia and Botswana have made the journey to Namibia to participate in the tournament this weekend,” Thinus Prinsloo, the group’s managing director Mr Prinsloo said.

Three of the Capricorn Group entities supported the tournament. Bank Gaborone, sponsored the International u/19 Botswana Sevens Rugby Teams’ Jerseys, Cavmont Bank sponsored travel costs of the International u/19 Zambia Sevens Rugby Team to travel to Namibia and Capricorn Private Wealth hosted the VIP area at Windhoek Gymnasium Private School. Apart from Capricorn Group, other sponsors include Trustco Group and Kosmos Radio.
