Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Gaborone International Music and Culture Week (GIMC) and Bomaid, a leading private medical aid provider, have launched a partnership for the former\u2019s Fitness and Aerobics event.
\n<\/b>
\nThe partnership, which was unveiled Thursday is worth P80,000. The Fitness and Aerobics event is one of GIMC\u2019s week-long festivities to be held on August 26 at The Grand Palm.<\/p>\n

Bomaid chief executive officer, Moraki Mokgosana said they found it fit and important to formulate a strategy that encourages an active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

He said that is a key part of the new direction in which Bomaid supports its members\u2019 wellbeing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were excited by the opportunity presented by GIMC Fitness and Aerobics event to share our transforming wellness message with our members and the public. This event aligns perfectly with Bomaid\u2019s intent to actively combat the rising cases of NCDs while supporting a healthier lifestyle in all our members’ lives,\u201d Mokgosana said.<\/p>\n

GIMC founder and organiser, Thapelo Pabalinga said the partnership will go a long way in ensuring the success of the event as well as encouraging the members’ healthy living. Pabalinga explained that the idea to introduce Fitness and Aerobics to GIMC’s event lineup was born out of knowing that healthy living breeds happiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been successful since we started it in 2019; almost a fully sold-out show. It is by no means that Bomaid is a leading medical aid in Botswana. They care about the communities they work in,\u201d Pabalinga said.<\/p>\n

The sponsorship will come in handy for the GIMC organisers who have bemoaned the lack of support from the corporate world.<\/p>\n
