Springbok Fan Malls – don’t miss any action from France

Eight of the biggest shopping malls in South Africa will be decked out in green and gold in the next couple of months as fans will be given the opportunity to share in the gees at the MTN Springbok Fan Malls in Gauteng, KZN, the Free State, and the Western Cape.

Springbok Fan Malls will be set up in conjunction with SA Rugby and some of its commercial partners at Menlyn Park (Pretoria), Mall of Africa, Nelson Mandela Square, Eastgate (Johannesburg), Gateway (Durban), Mimosa Mall (Bloem), as well as Canal Walk and Tyger Valley Shopping Centre (Cape Town).

All these malls are fitted with generators and therefore not impacted by loadshedding, which means Bok fans can enjoy the Tests without any unnecessary interruptions, while creating a unique atmosphere – almost similar to that of a live stadium experience – as they get together to support their favourite team in action in France.

Apart from the rugby, which will be shown on a big screen, there will be live entertainment, professional punditry, and loads to eat and drink.

Springbok headline sponsor MTN, as well as other SA Rugby partners in Betway, Toyota, Switch Energy Drink and FlySafair will be involved.

Castle Lager and Klipdrift will be providing liquid refreshments, Freddy Hirsch will be showcasing their special Bok Wors and BokWurst, Betway will be giving all fans a free bet – up to R1000 – Toyota will be giving away a vehicle in an exciting competition and FlySafair will give away flight tickets.

The Boks’ matches fixtures are available here.

MTN Springbok Fan Malls:
Pretoria: Menlyn Park
Johannesburg: Mall of Africa, Nelson Mandela Square and Eastgate
Durban: Gateway
Bloemfontein: Mimosa Mall
Cape Town: Canal Walk and Tyger Valley Shopping Centre
