It’s not magic, but it feels like it! Our SPAR2U team delivered bags and bags of South Africa's favourite products to a land far, far away. But how, when we only deliver locally? Well, that's the SPAR2U way! And our champions deserve nothing less. SPAR has always recognised the transformative power of sport to inspire and empower - and we're immensely proud to support our female athletes, many of whom will be returning home to take part in the SPAR Women's Challenge Jozi on 6 October. You know who you are! We hope you continue to #ChooseYou. For everyone else, keep choosing #SPAR2U. #SPAR #HomeOfChampionShoppers #SupportLocal
