Johannesburg – 14 April 2026:
Lions Cricket are proud to warmly welcome Johannesburg-based residential property developer Craft Homes to the Pride, joining an already impressive and ever-swelling sponsorship stable.
Aligned in values, the innovative brand of Craft Homes has wholeheartedly committed to walk with Lions both on the field and off it, effectively immediately. The relationship was born organically, growing out of Craft Homes’ participation in the iconic Pink Day ODI at the much-loved DP World Wanderers Stadium.
“Our Pride has partnered with a brand that not only builds homes, but crafts lifestyles, empowers families and grows people – a company that is aligned with the values and principles of Lions Cricket through and through,” smiles Lions Cricket CEO Jono Leaf-Wright.
“Gone are the days where cricket was just a game played on a field. Our Union is enjoying the fruits of hard labour and an overflowing of love for the sport, our surroundings, our partners and most importantly: Our community. And a partnership such as this one, holds tremendous potential for #ThePrideOfJozi and growing great people, fostering sound values and building beautiful families.”
The partnership reflects Craft Homes’ broader positioning as a developer invested not only in building quality homes, but in the urban fabric and community life of Johannesburg says Craft Homes CEO Reinier van Loggerenberg;
“We identified the DP World Wanderers Stadium as an iconic Johannesburg landmark; a place that means something to people across the city and beyond. What started as an activation quickly became something much bigger. We have found a partner that shares our values of care for community, integrity and a genuine commitment to making Johannesburg a better place to live. This is about being part of something meaningful.”
Effective immediately, the powerful partnership will be visible to all the fans entering the over 30 000-capacity iconic cricket stadium.
