SpinCity Becomes the Official Sponsor of Bantu FC

Bantu FC has officially launched a new sponsorship partnership with betting company SpinCity Lesotho, securing M6.30 (US$0.38) million in funding over the next three seasons.

The partnership was officially unveiled on Friday evening, 2nd October, at Lesotho Avani, marking a great financial boost for the club following the end of its previous main sponsorship agreement with Metropolitan Lesotho. They had parted ways three months ago and left the team in a financial crisis after the sponsorship agreement did expire.

Bantu Secretary General, Monaheng Matlali, discussed the seriousness of the club’s financial strain during the time without a primary sponsor in his speech at the launch. Additionally, it was disclosed that Bantu spends a minimum of M260,000 (US$15,607) each month on player salaries alone, demonstrating the high costs associated with keeping a competitive team.

Leuta promised that Bantu, under his direction, will make every effort to market and advertise SpinCity and praised the betting company for putting its faith in the team.

The collaboration provides Bantu with additional financial support as the team strives to improve operations and win the league this year.
