Totalsports, South Africa’s leading sports retailer, is proud to announce its new role as Title Sponsor of Langa Athletics Club, marking a powerful step forward in its commitment to grassroots running development and community upliftment.
This partnership will see the club rebranded as Totalsports Langa Athletics Club, symbolising a shared vision to nurture local talent, grow participation in the sport, and elevate the profile of township running communities.
Rooted in one of Cape Town’s most historic communities, Langa Athletics Club has long been a pillar of athletic excellence and community spirit. Through this sponsorship, Totalsports aims to provide meaningful support to athletes by investing in performance gear, race access, and development opportunities, while also amplifying the club’s inspiring stories on a national platform.

We are honoured to stand alongside them as title sponsor and to play a role in unlocking greater opportunities for their athletes.”
As part of the sponsorship, Totalsports will introduce co-branded club kits, support key race activations, and collaborate on community-led running initiatives designed to inspire participation at all levels from social runners to elite competitors.
Chairperson of Langa Athletics Club, Molebatsi Matube, welcomed the partnership:
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Totalsports. This sponsorship brings not only resources but recognition to our athletes and our community. It allows us to dream bigger and compete stronger while staying true to who we are.”
