We are proud to support the SASAPD games, as they embody the spirit of inclusivity and determination that aligns closely with our values”.
The SASAPD games hold profound significance for para-athletes, offering a platform for competition, camaraderie, and personal growth. Expressing gratitude for TSAM’s sponsorship, Mookie Grobbelaar (SASAPD President) states, “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Toyota South Africa for their unwavering support. The SASAPD games are not just about athletic achievement; they are about breaking barriers and proving that anything is possible. Toyota’s partnership enables us to create opportunities and transform lives”.
This year, the SASAPD games will welcome esteemed athletes such as Global Team Toyota athletes Puseletso Mabote and Louzanne Coetzee, who will showcase their exceptional talent and dedication on the grand stage of para sports.
