As an employee of Standard Bank and as a resident of Port Elizabeth,this is AWESOME news.

 

That is great news. I trust then the Std Bank employees in PE gain free entry Selous?

ABSA = EPIC

FNB = W2W

I wish/pray/hope they subsidise the entry fee, like spec-savers

 

Should this not happen by default? As I understood it the 2014 and 2015 fees were so high because there was no main sponsor and they had to get more funds from entrants...

No, SpecSavers previously just "sponsored" a discount off the normal entry fee, in return for having to wear their pretty crappy tri-top for the race, if you wanted this. If you chose not to have the discount and wear the top you just paid the normal full entry fee.

 

Highly doubt Std Bank will adopt this, especially as most entries have already been sold 8 months out...
