Following another World Cup match where the Springboks managed to win by a single point, Discovery has revealed South African heart rates peaked at 22:54 on Saturday night during the England match.

To ‘celebrate’ this milestone, the medical aid has pledged to give away Vitality Active Rewards points to members who’d experienced those elevated heart rates.

Dinesh Govender, CEO of Discovery Vitality, put the plan on the cards after colleagues mentioned the raised heart rates after the Boks beat England. Govender himself said, “Mine spiked way over 100”.

The health bros are now awarding what they’re calling #BackTheBokke points to anyone who took the nail-biting match to heart.

South Africa feels different this week… everything feels a bit better, so we thought let’s give away 60 million Vitality points, 100 points to everyone who’s on Active Rewards, just because of the gees.

Govender added, “We thought this was a great way to tell everyone ‘we’re celebrating with you, we’re feeling the vibes’. We recognise it’s not a healthy heart rate, but know that we think about heart rate, we think about your health and we think about sport and about the wellness of our entire country.”

Nice to get something back.

If this offer is still on the table come this Saturday, Discovery’s shareholders are going to be very annoyed.
