As Zimbabwe’s World Cup-bound Sables continue to fine-tune their preparations for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, Nyaradzo Group is proud to be part of the engagements contributing to the national team’s readiness, bringing sport and business together in support of a shared national ambition.
The Group recently welcomed the Sables to Sahwira Textiles and Clothing (SATCLO) and Calundike Exports, providing the players and their delegation with an opportunity to engage with the businesses, explore their operations and experience the diverse capabilities within the Nyaradzo Group.
The engagement was more than a corporate visit.
It was an opportunity for Nyaradzo to connect with the national team, celebrate Zimbabwean sporting excellence and play its part in creating meaningful experiences for the players as they prepare to represent the country on the global stage.
The programme commenced with a visit to SATCLO, where the delegation toured the facilities and participated in fittings before proceeding to Calundike for a tour and lunch.
The interaction provided an opportunity for the players to appreciate the work taking place within the Group’s businesses while strengthening connections between the sporting and corporate communities.
For Nyaradzo Group, being part of such engagements reflects its commitment to supporting initiatives that bring people together, celebrate national achievement and contribute to the growth of Zimbabwean institutions.
The Sables’ journey to the World Cup is a significant moment for the country, and the Group is proud to play a part in the engagements supporting the team’s preparations.
The visit came as the Sables enter a crucial phase of their international campaign, with their attention now shifting to Uruguay, whom they face on Saturday, November 14, at Trailfinders Sports Ground in London, England, in the World Rugby Nations Cup.
The encounter follows Zimbabwe’s opening November fixture against Samoa and presents another important opportunity for the technical team to assess the squad, strengthen combinations and build the competitive edge required ahead of the global tournament.
Zimbabwe secured its place at Australia 2027 following a thrilling 30-28 victory over Namibia in the 2025 Rugby Africa Cup final, ending a 34-year wait to return to the Rugby World Cup.
The Sables have been drawn in Pool F alongside England, Wales and Tonga, setting up an exciting but demanding challenge.
As preparations continue, Nyaradzo Group remains proud to be associated with a journey that extends beyond rugby.
Through engagements such as the SATCLO and Calundike visit, the Group is contributing to the connections, experiences and collective support that form part of the Sables’ preparations.
The Sables carry the hopes of a nation, and as they take their campaign to London and eventually Australia, Nyaradzo Group is proud to stand among those supporting their journey.
Their ambition is Zimbabwe’s ambition, and every step towards the World Cup is a moment for the nation to rally behind its own.
