Mthatha, In a commendable display of community spirit, the Mthatha Golf Club, in collaboration with Tyeks Security Services, hosted a charity golf day at the Mthatha Country Club. The event, which took place on Saturday, aimed to raise funds to expand the club’s youth programs and sustain its existing sporting structures.
The Mthatha Golf Club has been at the forefront of promoting youth development through sport, offering a range of activities including tennis, golf, squash, and footgolf. The club’s footgolf team has gained recognition as the only active team in the Eastern Cape province. With members as young as 13, the club plays a vital role in introducing structured activities to young people, providing a constructive alternative to idleness and its associated risks.
The charity golf day attracted approximately 80 participants, including business leaders and government representatives, many of whom were first-time golfers. The event’s success was evident in the funds raised, which will be instrumental in recruiting more young members and covering costs related to team logistics.
According to Gloria Buthelezi, General Manager of the Mthatha Golf Club, the event’s success was largely due to the support of the local community.
“We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and participants. The funds raised will go a long way in helping us achieve our goal of promoting youth development through sport.”
Tyeks Security Services, the event’s co-sponsor, expressed its commitment to fostering safer communities by investing in youth development. Siyabonga Ngcangisa, the company’s spokesperson, highlighted the initiative’s alignment with their core mission.
“As a security company, it is our duty to support initiatives that help fight crime. We believe that investing in youth development is key to creating safer communities.”
The charity golf day concluded with an awards ceremony, recognizing the outstanding performances of participants. The event served as a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives in addressing social challenges. As the year draws to a close, the success of the golf day underscores the potential of collective action in transforming lives.
