The have found a sponsor but they won’t tell us who it is just yet.
“Out of respect for the sponsor” we have to wait for an announcement in the next 14 days. While there is no mention in the English media release, the Afrikaans media release does mention that “more details around the sponsorship are still being negotiated”
Speculative comments have seen the names of LG, Toyota, Panasonic etc. being thrown around as potential sponsors. Whoever the sponsor is, I believe they will be in a VERY strong negotiating position with the Cheetahs desperate to have something on the front of their jerseys for the season.
We can only hope that all details are ironed out before the official launch of the Cheetahs’ SuperRugby kit on 12 February.
The media release by the Union.
Details regarding the sponsorship are currently being negotiated and out of respect for the sponsor, their name will be announced within the next fourteen days. This sponsorship as well as other sponsorships obtained during the period has put the Free State Cheetahs and Cheetahs in a very fortunate position to continue business as usual and to expand.
Sales of suites and season tickets are also growing and the Cheetah players, management and staff are exited about the season and future that lies ahead.

Thinking it might be ‘Venter Slaghuis’ in Bloemfontein…
@Crock (Comment 1) : Or Verster Furniture removals. 😛
It is a new company that was started a few weeks ago and will specialise in moving office furniture of replaced CEOs.
Or people who have become part of the furniture…

@robdylan (Comment 21) :
I saw that but couldnt work out whether it was tongue in ckeek or not – the reasoning for the cancellation is so outrageous that I think someone is yanking someones chain.
@Salmonoid (Comment 24) : well, given who the author of that piece is, I might wait for some other corroboration before considering it likely.
@robdylan (Comment 25) :
Awwwwwww He is such a cool calm and collected guy, he never rants about things or sucks things out of his thumb, why would he start now?
