Mscsports Sports Quiz 2025 raises over R 750 000 for Charity

The Mscsports Sports Quiz 2025 wrapped up on a high note, raising over R 750 000.00 for various causes. As part of the proceeds, R 180 000.00 was officially donated to Hot Cares at the annual Hot Cares Teddython on 30 October, a fitting finale to one of South Africa’s most celebrated nights of sport and generosity.

The donation is the result of another record-breaking edition of the event, hosted at The Venue at The Houghton Hotel and proudly sponsored by Bidvest Services International and RAM Hand-to-Hand Couriers. The event once again united sports legends, corporate teams and fans for an evening that blended competition, camaraderie, and compassion.

The live auction stole the show, with guests bidding generously for once-in-a-lifetime memorabilia including a Springbok RWC 2023 signed jersey, Proteas 2025 Test jersey, and The Open Championship flag signed by 40 former winners. The top-selling item went under the hammer for R120 000, helping drive the impressive fundraising total.

“The Sports Quiz is about more than competition, it’s about connection. Each year we see how sport can unite people and create real impact. Handing over more than R 750 000.00 this year is a proud moment for everyone involved, and we’re deeply grateful to our sponsors, our sporting guests, and every team that played their part. Sport remains one of the most powerful vehicles for change, and this event continues to prove that” said Barney Girnun, Founder of Mscsports.

On the night, Bidvest Services International, captained by CEO Alan Fainman, claimed victory after a tense contest of sporting knowledge. Guests were joined by stars including Victor Matfield, Siphiwe Tshabalala, and Temba Bavuma, who added extra sparkle to the evening.

“What a wonderful evening. Lots of sports questions, lots of laughter, and all for a good cause. The Mscsports Sports Quiz truly makes a meaningful difference to people across Johannesburg and South Africa” added Simon Parkinson, from Hot 102.7 Breakfast.

“It’s a great cause, giving back to communities, and everyone had such a good time. I’m excited to be back, and I hope it continues for many years” added Proteas cricketer Lungi Ngidi.

With planning already underway for the 2026 edition, the Mscsports Sports Quiz continues to raise the bar, proving that when sport and purpose come together, the results speak for themselves.
