South African brand Kumala will be the official wine sponsor of Sir Ian Botham’s eight-day charity walk across South Africa, dubbed ‘Beefy Walking the Rainbow Nation’.
The mammoth walk will take in much of South Africa’s stunning scenery, kicking off tomorrow (10th December) at Llandudno beach, Western Cape, and finishing in Pretoria on 17th December. The wine country around Stellenbosch (pictured) also features on the route.
This walk marks the celebration of Botham’s 60th birthday and the 30th anniversary of his first walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End in 1985, and will raise money for a number of key South African charities.
“Kumala is delighted to be partnering with Beefy on his walk of the Rainbow Nation. The tireless work that Sir Ian continues to do through his Foundation, has raised over £13 million to date. This is an astonishing achievement and one that we are proud to be sponsoring with our Kumala brand,” says Paul Schaafsma, Global Chief Executive Officer of Accolade Wines, Kumala’s parent company.
Back in the UK, Kumala joined forces with the Daily Mail, and ran a competition for two to fly to South Africa and walk alongside Botham.
