Tottenham sponsorship row: SA Tourism to meet Ramaphosa over deal

South African Tourism's controversial $51.5m sponsorship deal with English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur will be discussed by the country's president Cyril Ramaphosa after sparking uproar.

Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu will meet with Ramaphosa this week following the outcry, which has seen sport federations and labour unions criticise the amount of money being spent on a club in Europe while they struggle to make ends meet domestically.

South Africa Tourism (SAT) have provisionally agreed a three-year deal shirt sponsorship deal with Tottenham starting at the beginning of the 2023/24 season and concluding at the end of the 2026/27 season.
