Windhoek Light boosts multisport in South Africa

Windhoek Light recently announced its first South African sponsorship in more than five years. The award-winning light beer is now the official beer partner of Stillwater Sports and has signed up to co-sponsor 10 multisport - trail running, mountain biking and swimming - races across South Africa over a year.

The first race of 2015 in the sponsorship series is the Totalsports Xterra Buffelspoort presented by Rehidrat® Sport, an off-road triathlon taking place this weekend, 24 and 25 January 2015 in the North West Province.

"Windhoek Light is very selective about what and who we support. We are very excited about the growth of multisport in South Africa and have been looking for an opportunity to support these athletes. That's why we're delighted to partner with Stillwater Sports, a company that has impressed us with their unwavering commitment to the growth of multisport; their professionalism and their values of no compromise which we really resonate with," says Alan Roberts, Windhoek Beer Marketing Manager at brandhouse.

Windhoek Beer is brewed in the German Reinheitsgebot tradition, whether it be lager, draught or light beer, Roberts explains. It contains only three pure ingredients, malted barley, hops and water and is claimed to be the first beer in South Africa to have received the Heart Foundation stamp of approval.
