Dstv Premiership side Kaizer Chiefs have renewed their partnership with one of South Africa’s leading medical scheme providers, Medshield Medical Scheme, the club announced on Thursday at the club’s headquarters in Naturena, Johannesburg.
The two organisations signed a three-year deal, with their partnership beginning back in 2017.
Being Kazier Chiefs’ medical aid partner, Medshield provides cover to players and the wider Amakhosi families and fans. In a statement released by the club, the Scheme is said to have gained significant brand exposure.
Commenting on the partnership renewal, Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung, expressed her gratitude, “We are thrilled to announce the continuation of the partnership with Medshield. The Scheme is a company that is passionate about the development and growth of the sports industry. The support Medshield has shown us has been instrumental in ensuring that our players can perform at their best. The renewed partnership will enable us to continue providing our supporters with world-class football experiences, and we are looking forward to another three years after our successful six-year-old relationship.”
Setsooto Sihawu, Medshield’s Executive Marketing & Corporate Communication echoed Motaung’s sentiments, “We are excited to continue our partnership with Kaizer Chiefs Football Club. Football is an integral part of South Africa’s landscape, and Amakhosi have played a significant role in the development of many talented athletes. Not only has our partnership with Kaizer Chiefs given our brand access to South Africans who love football, it also emphasises the healthcare benefits available when selecting Medshield as your healthcare partner.”
