A fan favourite for the Hollywoodbets Sharks and a national rugby icon, Mapimpi now stands alongside an all-star line-up of Ambassadors, including iconic rugby speedsters Odwa and Akona Ndungane, Bafana Bafana’s midfield maestro Teko Modise, fellow Hollywoodbets Sharks and national rugby teammate Eben Etzebeth and his wife Anlia, soccer legends Brian Baloyi and Jerry Sikhosana, world-renowned sportscasters Carol Tshabalala and Robert Marawa, cricketing great Vernon Philander and South African Jockey legend Anthony Delpech.

Mapimpi's inspiring journey, from his humble beginnings in the rural outskirts of the Eastern Cape to becoming one of the world's best rugby players. His story of perseverance, passion, and unmatched dedication resonated with millions of South Africans, making him a true symbol of hope and excellence both on and off the field. We couldn’t be more excited to have him to be a part of the Purple Family.

Makazole Mapimpi expressed his excitement, “ My relationship with Hollywoodbets is so heart-warming because I’ve always seen how they supported rugby over the years. When we collaborated on the Makazole Mapimpi Foundation with the Hollywood Foundation’s Back2School campaign, that further showed the Purple Brand’s commitment to giving back. I’m happy about this partnership.”

Hollywoodbets Brand and Communications Manager Devin Heffer said, "We are immensely proud to welcome Makazole Mapimpi to the Purple family. His life journey and achievements inspire countless South Africans, demonstrating how someone from humble beginnings can reach the pinnacle of professional sport.
