  • Press Statement Oasis Sticks with Vodacom Bulls And
    PRESS STATEMENT OASIS STICKS WITH VODACOM BULLS AND BLUE BULLS WINNING FORMULA Cape Town 25th February 2010 –Oasis Group Holdings has signed a multi-million rand landmark deal with the Vodacom Super 14 champions the Bulls for another five years. The asset management company announced that the Vodacom Bulls were once again their number one choice after what they described as a fruitful partnership. As the only black owned and managed company to sponsor a Super 14 rugby team, Oasis Group represents the front line of rugby transformation. “We decided to continue the relationship with the Bulls because as a winning brand we want to be associated with another winning brand and there is no better product in South African rugby than the Bulls. Five years ago we had the vision and foresight to bet on the Bulls. Now looking back on the wonderful rewards that relationship has afforded us and the success of the Bulls franchise, we know that we made the right decision,” says Nazeem Ebrahim, Oasis Marketing Director. The Blue Bulls have one of the better transformation records of any rugby union and as well the winning record. The most recent 2009 BMI survey revealed that Bulls enjoy the largest support fan base of all the South African Super 14 teams with no less than 2.75 million supporters nationwide, 62% of which incidentally consists of black or coloured supporters. “Over the past few years Oasis has become a very big part of the Vodacom Bulls and Blue Bulls Family and we are delighted that they have decided to renew their sponsorship for another 5 years,” said Barend van Graan, CEO Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd.
