2021 Telkom Netball League champions, Gauteng Jaguars, showed their appreciation for increased mainstream media coverage as gsport presented a four-page Mail & Guardian netball supplement to the team on Friday, 22 October 2021.
The gsport Team travelled to the High Performance Centre in Pretoria to hand over the supplement which focused on the success of the Telkom Netball League and the rise of netball ahead of the 2023 Netball World Cup.
In celebration of our third feature in M&G, we held our first supplement party, which turned out to be a successful morning, celebrating the support of women’s sport.
“It’s important to get women’s sport out there in the media and to promote it more,” revealed Jaguars captain and overall TNL Player of the Tournament, Marlize de Bruin.
