Not some, most of South Africa!

No SA national/international sports teams have that expensive logo on their sleeves even if there is international TV exposure like Tour de France, oh wait wrong ministry that's sports busy building flagpole for tourists, this is tourism sponsoring an other countries local team

A billion Rand would directly pay for the tickets of 80,000 tourists to fly from the UK. Fat chance a sleeve advert will entice more people than that. Of course even 80k would have to spend a huge amount in SA to even break even. Absurd deal, set up only for the 30m kickback.

He must go

In a country facing numerous social and economic problems, I do not think sponsorship of some football team is a good idea . That money could be used to do better things eg boosting security to make the country tourist safe
