About the Event

Tee Up Tomorrow — Continuing a Legacy of Opportunity Through Education

At Kagiso Trust, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential. For almost four decades, we have invested in education because it remains one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty, unlock opportunity, and build a stronger South Africa.

Our Golf Day is much more than a day on the course. It is an opportunity for leaders, partners, and friends of Kagiso Trust to come together around a shared purpose: creating opportunities for the next generation through the Eric Molobi Scholarship Programme.

“In golf, the tee sets up the drive. In life, education sets up opportunity. Every scholarship awarded represents more than financial support — it represents hope, confidence, and the chance for a young person to realise their full potential.”

Mandisa Tselane
Head of Communication and Marketing, Kagiso Trust

Every great future starts with an opportunity.

Hosted at the prestigious Royal Johannesburg Golf Club — West Course, this exclusive invitational event raises funds for the Eric Molobi Scholarship Programme (EMSP), helping academically deserving young South Africans access higher education and realise their potential. Whether through corporate partnership, an auction donation or a direct financial contribution, your support unlocks opportunities that extend far beyond the final putt.
