Bakwena Platinum Corridor Concessionaire (Pty) Ltd, (Bakwena) held their thirteenth annual charity golf day at Wingate Park Country Club on Tuesday 15th November 2022. Bakwena converted its annual golf day into a charity fundraiser 13 years ago. Since then, it has assisted 6 charities (with an additional charity added in the last two years) with more than R2 148 650 million which has been raised over the years.
This year’s charity golf day saw an amazing amount of R135 250 being raised for their selected charities.
“As custodians of the N1N4 toll, we harness our relationships with government and industry stakeholders to help uplift communities along our route. The golf day is one of the many initiatives we are involved in, ”says Solomon Kganyago, Chief Operating Officer for Bakwena.
The weather held, allowing the players to complete all 18 holes in record time enabling them to enjoy prize giving and dinner. As always, the competition was tight, however the first ten fourballs walked away with prizes including two nearest to the pin and the longest day golfers.
One lucky winner walked away with a raffle prize valued at approximately R1 500 which was generously donated to us by Webber Wentzel.
The seven charities who were selected to benefit from this year’s event are Thusanang Early Learning Centre, PinkDrive, WheelWell, HAWS (Hartebeespoort Animal Welfare Society) Cansa, Laudium Cancer Care and Mohau House.
