South African rowing continues to shine

At CN&CO, we’ve always believed in supporting South African excellence — in business, in the arts and in sport. So it’s no surprise that we’ve long had a special connection to rowing, a sport that embodies grit, grace and determination.

We’re proud supporters of WeRowSA, a dynamic platform that champions the South African rowing community. From youth development and school rowing to elite international competition, WeRowSA helps to raise funds to grow the sport, build awareness and celebrate the incredible athletes who wear the green and gold on the water.

The sport has a rich history in South Africa – and some big names in our network. Ramon di Clemente, a long-time friend of CN&CO and one of SA’s rowing legends, brought home the country’s first Olympic rowing medal in Athens in 2004 with his then rowing partner Don Cech. Ramon is also a many-time winner at Henley, the most prestigious regatta in the world, and has been extremely successful in the property development and construction field since retiring from rowing.

We’re also proud to be associated with Shaun Keeling, another Olympic medallist and a valued member of the extended EasyEquities family.

Now, another generation is stepping up and flying the flag high.
