Betway's Support for Rowing South Africa at the 2023 World Rowing Masters Regatta
Betway has significantly invested in upgrading the facilities and infrastructure for Rowing SA, particularly in preparation for the 2023 World Rowing Masters Regatta at Roodeplaat Dam.
Key improvements included refurbishing the clubhouse deck, toilets, and kitchen, as well as painting and waterproofing the deck, installing new windows and doors, and constructing a new boathouse. New jetties were installed, and work was done to stabilize the dam’s banks and plant indigenous vegetation along the shoreline.
These enhancements were crucial for successfully hosting the 2023 Masters Regatta, which garnered over R22 million in local and global media exposure. The new jetties not only improved the event’s visual appeal but also its functionality, greatly benefiting participants and spectators.
Additionally, these upgrades have enhanced day-to-day rowing activities and overall sustainability for RowSA athletes and local communities.
The improvements are expected to have a lasting economic impact on Tshwane and contribute to the growth of rowing in the region.
