“Players seem to be very eager and excited about this organisation and look forward to supporting the KTSEO golf day every year.”
KTSEO is a non-profit organisation (NPO) which was established by the business community of KwaThema to help students afford their university registration fees.
Thandi Mabele (46), a golf player from Tsakane, explains that golf is no longer a male-dominated sport.
