Absa Premiership ‘Woza Nazo’ hits the Mother City

After a successful start to the Absa Premiership ‘Woza Nazo’ in Tshwane last month, the excitement moves to the Mother City for the Cape Town rivalry fixture between Ajax Cape Town and Cape Town City, scheduled for Saturday 30 September 2017.

Woza Nazo, meaning ‘Bring it On’, sees Absa bring back the fire to the game in the 2017/18 Absa Premiership season, as we set the stage for players to bring the magic and for the fans to bring their massive support for their teams through the ‘Woza Nazo’ rivalry matches.

The Woza Nazo brand campaign draws on the loyalty and love that players and supporters have for the sport and for their teams, and encourages us all to up our game and strive for the excellence. This is one of the ways Absa wants to use football to make a lasting and positive impact in everyone touched by the beautiful game.

John Tshabalala, Absa Managing Executive for the Western Cape says: “We invite all soccer fans around the Mother City to come and experience the beautiful game at the Cape Town stadium with us and showcase how much Capetonians can bring it, because this is the most beautiful city to enjoy soccer in! Our Woza Nazo campaign is starting to create huge excitement from the stands to the field of play and we believe city rivalry such as this one between Ajax Cape Town and Cape Town City is the force that makes the game better and we aim to continue to make it better.”
