Scott Sakupwanya’s Betterbrands funds US$200k school sports revival

Businessman Scott Sakupwanya’s company, Betterbrands, has signed a US$200,000 partnership with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to revive the National Association of Secondary School Heads (NASH) sports program. The deal aims to restore grassroots sports development, which had stalled due to a lack of funding. While the initiative is being presented as a positive corporate social responsibility effort, it highlights the increasing reliance of public institutions on private actors to fund essential services. The government is leveraging private capital to fill the void left by its own budgetary constraints. This partnership underscores the growing influence of private business interests in the public education sector.
