Standard Bank has been the festival’s major sponsor since 2012
Not only does schoolboy rugby play an invaluable role in the development of South Africa’s rugby culture, but it also instils the values of sportsmanship, team work, resilience and respect in young players.
This 15th KERF promises exhilarating competition between some of the country’s top-ranked schools, over the three play days of Thursday 28 March, Saturday 30 and Monday 01 April.
In endorsing their continued long-term headline sponsorship of the festival, Kuben Chetty, Standard Bank’s head of commercial banking for KwaZulu-Natal, said the company firmly believes in the power of sport to change lives.
“We believe that this tournament presents young people with opportunities to learn from challenges and to grow through teamwork,” Chetty said.
