Namibian Rugby captain Renaldo Bothma, who currently plays for Harlequins, has teamed up with Windhoek Lager to raise money in aid of Save the Rhino International through the sale of limited-edition pairs of socks.<\/p>\n

As part of the collaboration, Renaldo\u2019s fashion company botthms has designed and produced 1,000 pairs of exclusive rhino and beer socks, which are now on sale for \u00a38.99 on his website \u2013 www.botthms.com\/rhinos\/<\/a><\/p>\n

50% of the profits from the sale of each pair of socks will be donated in aid of Windhoek Lager\u2019s campaign to raise at least \u00a35,000 for Save the Rhino. For details visit – https:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/RenaldoBothma<\/p>\n

Renaldo Bothma commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLike most Namibians, I have a huge respect for our country and wildlife and I\u2019m passionate about ensuring we conserve it for future generations. The rhino story is heart-wrenching so I\u2019m delighted to be able to team up with the iconic beer of Namibia to raise awareness in the UK of the plight of rhinos and generate some money in aid of a fantastic charity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Windhoek Lager campaign has already raised over \u00a33,700 through a wide range of fundraising activities in the UK. This included a Windhoek team member running the Hackney Half marathon in full rhino suit, a charity Pig Racing night at the award-winning Pig & Whistle pub in Wandsworth and a series of charity live music nights at Brighton Rocks bar.<\/p>\n

Three more Windhoek warriors will be completing charity runs in April and May but it is hoped all 1,000 pairs of the limited-edition socks can be sold, which alone would generate \u00a33,000.<\/p>\n

Windhoek Lager Export Manager Antonio Simoes said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t thank Renaldo enough for agreeing to support our fundraising campaign for Save the Rhino International. He\u2019s a hard-working, passionate, inspirational and no nonsense young man on and off the rugby pitch so it\u2019s a privilege to have him on our side as we aim for a common goal \u2013 socking it to the poachers!\u201d<\/p>\n
