  • 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.

  • Proyecto De Declaracin
    Senado de la Nación Secretaria Parlamentaria Dirección General de Publicaciones (S-1306/11) PROYECTO DE DECLARACIÓN El Senado de la Nación DECLARA Su beneplácito por el triunfo de los Pampas XV en la Vodacom Cup, en Sudáfrica, que representa el primer título obtenido por un equipo argentino profesional de rugby en una competencia mundial. Carlos A. Reutemann. – FUNDAMENTOS Señor presidente: Un equipo argentino de rugby profesional, integrado por jugadores del ámbito local afectados al plan de alto rendimiento (reciben becas otorgadas por la Secretaría de Deportes de nuestro país), resultó vencedor en forma invicta de la Vodacom Cup disputada en Sudáfrica. La Vodacom Cup es el tercer torneo en importancia en el rugby sudafricano, detrás del Súper Rugby (anteriormente llamado Súper 14) y la Currie Cup. O sea que nos estamos refiriendo a un país que es permanente animador de esta especialidad, y que actualmente es el campeón del mundo, por lo que estamos en presencia del máximo nivel competitivo posible en la esfera internacional. Es un hecho particularmente significativo para el deporte argentino ya que se trata del primer título obtenido por un equipo argentino de rugby en una competencia de alcance mundial. Hasta el momento, solo se habían obtenido éxitos en terreno sudamericano. En efecto, en el estadio Olën Park de la ciudad de Otchefstroom, en Sudáfrica, el conjunto denominado Pampas XV se impuso a los locales Blue Bulls (defensores del título) por 14 a 9, logrando la máxima corona en disputa. Las figuras más destacadas de un equipo que se impuso en los once (11) partidos que disputó, fueron el rosarino Juan Imhoff quien aportó 10 tries (fue el máximo anotador en la materia seguido por Agustín Gosio quien logró 8) y el goleador resultó el apertura Nicolás Sánchez, quien alcanzó 85 tantos.
