STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: The inaugural Vryburg 2 Mayors Kalahari Expo Charity Golf Day turned the greens of the Vryburg Golf Club into a celebration of generosity and community spirit, proving that a game of golf can carry far more impact than just friendly competition.
Hosted in collaboration by the Naledi Local Municipality, Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality, and the Made in Mzansi Festival, the event brought together local leaders, sponsors, and golf enthusiasts in a unified effort to uplift the community.
The primary aim? To raise much-needed support for soup kitchens across the Naledi region—vital hubs that feed and support vulnerable families, particularly during the biting winter months. Municipal Manager Mr. M.T. Segapo summed up the day’s ethos: “Today, the caddies own the golf course. What we’ve achieved here will ripple through the lives of those who depend on our soup kitchens.” He extended heartfelt thanks to the private sector for their pivotal role in the event’s success. Businesses added colour and hospitality to the day, sponsoring holes and treating participants with welcome packs and refreshments—creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie throughout the course. Naledi Mayor Advocate C.J. Groep highlighted the broader impact: “This day wasn’t just about golf—it was about recognising our shared responsibility to help those in need. Each swing today brought us closer to a stronger, more caring community.”
The Speaker of Council, Councillor P. Gulane, and several fellow councillors also actively participated, visibly reinforcing the municipality’s commitment to hands-on community development.
As the last ball dropped into the cup and the sun set over the fairways, the message was clear: the Vryburg 2 Mayors Kalahari Expo Charity Golf Day was more than an event—it was the start of a legacy of giving, where compassion and action go hand in hand.
