November 2023 – The Lenmed Group is excited to announce its proud participation as the official medical sponsor of the Soweto Marathon, fondly known as “the people’s race”, to take place on Sunday, 5 November 2023 at the FNB Stadium in Nasrec, Soweto. This sponsorship reflects the hospital group’s commitment to supporting the health and prosperity of the communities and the athletes participating in this prestigious event.
