Sponsorships
Supporting creative and sporting talent today ensures a brighter future tomorrow. At Absa, we understand the impact of art and sport on people and our sponsorship portfolio reflects this diversity.
Absa plays a pivotal role in supporting the arts by sponsoring festivals like Absa KKNK , Design Indaba, and the television programme, 'Noot vir Noot' . We also have the largest corporate art collection in the country, featuring over 20 000 artworks (all by local artists); and host Absa L 'Atelier , South Africa’s longest-running art competition.
We also sponsor South Africa’s much loved national soccer team, Bafana Bafana , the Springbok rugby team and the oldest regional rugby rivalry in the world, the Absa Currie Cup.
