More than just a day on the course, the Charity Golf Day brought together suppliers, partners, and community members to raise R300,000 for early childhood education and local initiatives.
Johannesburg, South Africa (16 November 2025) – Johannesburg’s golf enthusiasts gave back as SPAR South Rand hosted its annual Charity Golf Day on 30 October 2025. The event brought together suppliers, partners, and friends for a mix of sport, networking, and community support.
This year, the day proved its impact by raising R150,000 each for two inspiring organisations: the Khulani Early Childhood Development Centre in Diepsloot, which provides quality early education and nutritious meals, and Jozi My Jozi, a citywide initiative focused on clean-ups, lighting projects, and its Adopt-an-ECD programme, which empowers educators and supports early childhood centres.
Koketso Lesunyane, who is the Divisional Marketing Executive, summed up the importance of the event.
“At SPAR, community is at the heart of everything we do. Events like this remind us that our partnerships with suppliers and customers don’t just drive business success, they help us build stronger, more resilient communities.”
The day was a celebration of teamwork and camaraderie. Golfers of all skill levels enjoyed the rolling fairways, scenic views, and friendly competition.
“There were plenty of birdies, a few creative swings, and maybe even a lost ball or two, but the real win was the spirit of connection and contribution that defines this day.”
The SPAR South Rand Marketing Team was praised for delivering a seamless and memorable event, blending competition with community impact. The Charity Golf Day also reinforced SPAR South Rand’s ongoing My Jozi My SPAR campaign. Making this a celebration of independence, pride, and local community spirit.
As the day drew to a close and prizes were handed out, the energy of generosity and gratitude was clear. Beyond the fairways, the event once again demonstrated how sport can make a real difference in the lives of Johannesburg’s children and communities.
