One of the most important tournaments on the South African golfing calendar is the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City. It is every South African amateur golfer’s dream to attend this annual tournament, and I made it a point to attend as often as possible.

As part of this year’s celebration of Freedom Day and as the 2021 local government elections approach, Daily Sun is hosting a webinar about how we all protect that hard won freedom.
