Sponsor for 46664

BAFANA Bafana technical sponsor, adidas, are using the 2010 World Cup to mobilise people globally to support Nelson Mandela's 46664 campaign.

The Unite Against Mzansi campaign was created to inspire the world to celebrate diversity in unity while raising funds for the 46664 foundation.

Supported by Bafana's Steven Pienaar, the campaign is also aimed at developing long-term projects that will leave a legacy long after the World Cup.

Pienaar said: "I fully support South African unity in the build-up to the World Cup.

"I am honoured that I will get to play in front of my nation who will be united and wearing yellow in support of us (Bafana Bafana)."

Adidas created a giant jersey, which is currently touring South Africa via a huge truck giving the entire nation sign messages of support for Bafana.

Adidas, which has legend Mike Ntombela as one of its soccer managers, will donate all of its profits to the Nelson Mandela's 46664 charity.
