MESSAGE FROM THE SPONSOR Jacques Cronje - Wimpy
As South Africa’s most-loved family sit-down restaurant, Wimpy constantly wants to co-create and enhance the family experience for its customers. Family outings to water parks and beaches are a tradition for many because South Africa generally enjoys a warm climate throughout the year. With this insight, we made a brand decision to support Lifesaving South Africa in order to make time spent in pools and at beaches to be an enjoyable, memorable and safe time for all.
We applaud and are grateful for the work done by Lifesaving South Africa together with the lifeguards in their bid to promote water safety in our communities and drowning prevention. We truly look forward to building a long-lasting and fruitful partnership with Lifesaving South Africa.
