The TPL brings together 10 tribes, made up by individually enrolled players, and plays a critical role in nurturing future players, coaches, umpires, and officials by offering a structured, competitive, and inclusive environment.
The league’s vision aligns seamlessly with SPAR’s long-standing belief in the power of sport to uplift communities, build confidence, and create opportunity — especially for women and youth.
Speaking at the league activation, Mpudi Maubane, SPAR’s National PR, Communications and Sponsorships Manager, emphasized the brand’s continued focus on enabling change from the ground up:
“At SPAR, we believe that community is where growth begins. Supporting initiatives like the Tshwane Prime League isn’t just about the game — it’s about creating opportunities for players, coaches, and officials to develop, grow, and inspire others,” said Maubane..
“We’ve seen first-hand how sport can change lives — it builds confidence, instils discipline, and opens doors for education and future leadership. Our investment in platforms like the TPL reflects SPAR’s wider commitment to women’s empowerment, grassroots development, and building stronger, more connected communities.”
The TPL is more than just a competitive structure — it is a community movement designed to inspire participation and pride across all levels of the sport.
By fostering a safe, inclusive, and family-oriented environment, the league ensures that every participant — from young players to seasoned coaches — can excel.
Riana Bezuidenhout, President of Tshwane Netball, expressed her appreciation for SPAR’s partnership and shared vision:
“The support from SPAR reinforces everything we stand for at Tshwane Netball — empowerment, development, and opportunity. The Tshwane Prime League is built on the values of growth and inclusivity, and having SPAR as one of the partners, who invests not only in sport but also in education and community upliftment, is invaluable. Together, we’re building pathways that will shape the future of South African netball.”
SPAR’s support of the TPL forms part of its broader national footprint in sport — from the iconic SPAR Women’s Challenge and the SPAR Grand Prix Series to its partnerships across rugby and netball that celebrate inclusivity and promote equal opportunity.
Beyond sponsorship, SPAR continues to drive initiatives such as the End Period Poverty Campaign, ensuring that young women have access to affordable menstrual care through SPAR Petals pads (priced from just R6 per pack) and donation drives that encourage community participation at events like the TPL.
These efforts reflect SPAR’s holistic approach — using sport, education, and accessibility as tools to build stronger, healthier, and more empowered communities.
