Cape Town, South Africa – April 2022 – PUMA has signed a multi-year partnership with the

African champion and Olympian Precious Mashele as well as Glenrose Xaba, who is also a
multiple national champion on the road and on the track.

“PUMA has a growing family of elite distance runners, so partnering with a top-tier club to
showcase our innovative product was the obvious next step” said Brett Bellinger, Marketing
Director of PUMA South Africa. “By providing the best race day product and through a package
of incentives we aim to support athletes to achieve their goals of breaking national records and
excelling on the local and global stage.”

The technical product available to members of the elite squad will include the PUMA Deviate

continue our work to enhance the presence of sports in disadvantaged communities and to lay a
foundation for future athletes to be realised,” said Swanepoel.
