SOJO held its annual golf day, in association with Gold Reef City, on October 13 at the Glenvista Country Club.
SOJO CEO Nicky Vakaloudis heartily thanked all SOJO members for their continuous support.
“SOJO is an NPO, but our biggest reward is to be able to give back to the community. The golf day was not only supported by businesses in the South but also from the greater Gauteng area.”

The weather smiled down on the golfers, who enjoyed a beautiful day in the sun with friends and colleagues. The event was held in support of Stepping Stone Hospice, which is in desperate need of premises to extend its services.
The four-ball teams were Gold Reef City, Supa Quick Kibler Park (winners), Cross Culture City Church (runners-up), Steelmart, MLass, Williams Hunt, Allegiance Joburg South, Eldon Slabbert and friends, Etienne Cloete with Ward 23 Clr Sarah Wissler and friends and 10 avid golfers from PPC, sponsored by Kewl Brews and Mall of the South.

“The SOJO team and guests would also like to thank Glenvista Country Club for their service and beautiful facilities. The event had a sponsorship of prizes to the value of R88 880, with Gold Reef City being the major sponsor. Each player also received a golf shirt,” said Vakaloudis.
