Soccer Laduma Head of Content for Soccer Laduma, Clint Roper said: “It’s not often that South African football fans get tangible rewards for their passion for the beautiful game. Yes they get to share in the wins and losses of their team, but does any fan really ever benefit from a massive sponsorship deal or winning a tournament other than bragging rights? Truth be told it only ever really costs a fan to be a fan. That’s why when Soccer Laduma and JET8 sat down to discuss a potential partnership, we (Soccer Laduma) were so excited about an APP that results in real rewards for passionate fans, who are the lifeblood of the game. And so after months of development and refining our offering, we are proud to announce that the Soccer Laduma JET8 APP is now up and running and available for download and we can start building a community that will empower soccer fans and turn their own social networks into proper reward opportunities for themselves. It’s a partnership we will endeavour to grow and cultivate over the coming months. We hope our family, the biggest gathering of South African soccer readers on a weekly basis, will download the APP and start growing their community.”

JET8 Co-founder, Mike Allen said: “After many months of development, we are proud to announce a partnership with Soccer Laduma which will empower soccer fans and grow a community. Passionate soccer fans are now able to be rewarded for the love of the game with JET8 app technology.”
