Johannesburg – 11 June 2026:
Lions Cricket is delighted to announce the renewal of its partnership with ACDC Express for a further two years, with an option to extend. As South Africa’s leading electrical distributor and manufacturer enters its third year alongside the Pride, the partnership continues to play a meaningful role in driving investment into the growth and development of cricket and the communities it serves. Together, the organisations remain committed to creating lasting impact, not only across Gauteng, but throughout South Africa.
Working hand in hand, the two organisations have significantly enhanced the experience at the DP World Wanderers Stadium for the thousands of passionate fans, players and stakeholders who attend its many events and matches each year. From upgraded stadium lighting and extensive electrical infrastructure improvements to the provision of LED solutions supporting Lions Cricket’s Go Green sustainability initiatives, ACDC Express has played a pivotal role in elevating both the functionality and overall experience of one of South Africa’s premier sporting venues.
Jono Leaf-Wright, CEO of Lions Cricket, says the partnership with ACDC Express continues to create meaningful impact through a shared commitment to excellence and innovation.
“ACDC Express have played an instrumental role in enriching and empowering our Pride, investing significantly in both our people and our environment in ways that often go unseen. They are a brand that continually inspires us to Beat Our Best by adding value to our offerings and enhancing our home. We are incredibly grateful for their loyalty and support as we continue to raise the standard across every aspect of the organisation, underpinned by shared values of respect, integrity and customer focus.”
Echoing Jono’s sentiment, Mario Maio expressed his enthusiasm around the success of the partnership:
“We have thoroughly enjoyed our partnership with this dynamic organisation, which strongly reflects our own commitment to excellence, integrity and community. As a proudly family-driven business, ACDC Express identifies not only with the Lions Cricket organisation, but also with its passionate supporters and the broader cricketing ecosystem it serves. We are proud of the connections we have built with the Lions fanbase and look forward to continuing to showcase our dedication to delivering innovative and comprehensive electrical solutions.”
United by a shared vision to enhance the supporter experience and drive excellence at every level of the game, Lions Cricket and ACDC Express remain committed to making a lasting impact — from grassroots development through to the professional ranks, every day and at every touchpoint.
