The Bidvest Sports Quiz, which took place at the Wanderers Club, brought icons of the community together with sporting celebrities such as Schalk Brits, Jesse Kriel, and Vernon Philander to test their sporting knowledge.
“It’s an event that has captured the imagination of the people in Johannesburg as well as raising money for such a wonderful charity. We are delighted to do our bit for both the Chevrah Kadisha and the residents of the Selwyn Segal. And what better way to do it than through sport?” said Barney Girnun, the joint managing director of Mscsports.
Alan Fainman, the head of Bidvest Services said, “I have been attending this event for many, many years, and it has just gone from strength to strength. In fact, it’s a highlight of the year for many of us in Johannesburg. It’s Bidvest’s first year as title sponsor, and we are delighted to be able to hand over a cheque of R400 000 to one of the Jewish community’s most iconic institutions.”
