Can 46664 be hit in sequence at the Standard Bank Pro20 Final?
In tribute to the Standard Bank Pro20 final being held in Nelson Mandela Bay (Port Elizabeth) on Friday 12 March, Standard Bank is offering the batsmen of the Chevrolet Warriors and the bizhub Highveld Lions an exciting batting incentive.
The batsmen are challenged to hit 4-6-6-6-4 in sequence, in one over. The runs must be hit in the sequential order, off five consecutive balls. For the first batsman to successfully hit the incentive, Standard Bank will make a donation of R466 640.00 in his name, to the Nelson Mandela House.
Standard Bank is a founding Trustee of the Nelson Mandela House in Soweto. The Mandela House is managed by the Soweto Heritage Trust, a partnership project between the City of Johannesburg, the Standard Bank Group, and the Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation.
The first successful batsman will also receive a special edition "46664" bracelet, in platinum, from Standard Bank.
About Mandela House
Situated at 8115 Vilakazi Street, Orlando West, Soweto. It aims to provide an effective, efficient and meaningful experience to all visitors, informing them of President Nelson Mandela's story, both in the context of his home, and in the context of his life as a whole, in a manner that promotes human rights, democracy, reconciliation, mutual respect and tolerance amongst the peoples of South Africa.
Former South African President Nelson Mandela and his family lived here from 1946 into the 1990's. He donated the house to the Soweto Heritage Trust in 1997, to be used for the above purposes. In March 1999, the National Monuments Council declared the property a national monument.
