Fancy a Spot of Golf With the Mayor?

By

The 16th edition of the Annual Nelson Mandela Bay Mayoral Charity Golf Day will take place on Friday 21 October 2022. The NMB Municipality and Executive Mayor are proud to be associated with this golf event which makes an immense contribution to the lives of the Nelson Mandela Bay citizens.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Mayoral Charity Golf Day has grown to be one of the Bay’s premium business and social networking functions. It continues to attract big corporates, top business people, public service officials and golf enthusiasts from all the provinces of our beautiful and proud nation. All in support of the foundation’s worthy cause.

This golf day is key in raising funds for addressing the dire early education needs that still exist in our local communities. With 1,24 million children between the ages of three and five in South Africa not attending an appropriate early learning programme every year, there is a great need for fundraising activities targeted towards addressing these problems.

The Mark Headbush Foundation’s mandate is to make a difference in the early learning phase, focusing on learners from the ages of 0-9 years or grade R-3. This is the foundation’s way of encouraging businesses and individuals to plough back into our communities, just as the saying goes, “Charity begins at Home”.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Mayoral Charity Golf Day endorsed by the Executive Mayor’s office has raised over R4 million since 2005 through the generous sponsorships and donations of various corporate sponsors, local businesses and donors.

It’s critical that we all play our part in investing in early childhood development (ECD) for the metro as this could help mitigate the various challenges which put the future of our children at risk.

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!
