#Care4Kings Launches Rugby Memorabilia Online Auction
To all of Mzansi’s rugby fans, here’s a chance to support the game by taking part in the Care 4 Kings’ fundraising initiative. A live online auction featuring rugby memorabilia, the event will take place from 16 – 17 October 2020, and will be hosted by former Springbok rugby player, Braam van Straaten at www.care4kings.co.za. All the earnings will go towards financially aiding the Southern Kings players and staff, after the club announced insolvency on the 19 September 2020.
