With over R3000 raised already, #BringBackSports2020 is coming back bigger and better this weekend
Amidst South Africa’s lockdown, Bring Back Sports aims to entertain, while supporting those financially impacted by COVID-19.
The brainchild of Glenn Kisela & Texx and the City, along with the backing of Nodwin Gaming, Bring Back Sports will shine a light on the power of gaming and esports whilst also giving back to the community that has supported its growth. Nodwin Gaming is already providing the public with ways to #StayAtHome with the Inkosi Super Cup, featuring four gaming titles to compete in.
Bring Back Sports will feature events for FIFA 20 and PUBG Mobile, which will run over Saturday and Sunday. The best part is that absolutely anyone can join. This includes musicians, pro players, shoutcasters, streamers, influencers and members of the public.
This is your chance to battle it out for the ultimate bragging rights. There are limited spots available, so please register to the Bring Back Sports Discord channel to get all the information here: discord.gg/wTjBxYx

Our Thank You’s
We have had some great brands come onboard to help this initiative. Vodacom is no stranger to the gaming world and they’ve come to support. Red Bull is powering this charity tournament as well. If that wasn’t enough, we also have the support of Redragon, RAVPower, Sparkfox and TaoTronics. All of these brands have been supporting the local gaming community in one way or another and we’re so grateful to have them on board for #BringBackSports2020.
We’d also like to thank the musicians that have come in to support and have create some entertainment on our screens again. The likes of Karen Zoid, Locnville, Grassy Spark are all stretching their thumb fingers to get involved. On the gaming front Goliath Gaming, Grant Hinds & Ekasi Esports are just some of the usual suspects getting involved.
Have fun and support a good cause
There are great hampers to be won by those participating in #BringBackSports2020. From viewers to players themselves, anyone can have a good time and potentially walk away with a prize. Lockdown may have been extended but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun.
Proceeds generated from Bring Back Sports will go directly towards the Solidarity Fund set up by the government for COVID-19 relief efforts. In addition, a relief fund will be set up to assist those in the music industry who have been hit the hardest, with donations raised during the tournament through our unique BUSQR code.
A lot was learnt from last week to make this coming weekend something special. We have some exciting announcements to make this week so stay tuned & don’t miss out.
