Telkom has been announced as the official Olympic sponsor of the South African Olympic and Paralympic teams.
The multi-million rand sponsorship will allow Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) to expand Team SA, including more qualifying athletes, giving local talent and opportunity to compete.
Telkom will also be adding R4m to the medal incentive pot, to be shared between both the Olympic and Paralympic stars.
