The Germiston Golf Club are deeply mindful of the precarious situation in which South Africa finds itself due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Life has certainly not been easy for many as unemployment, business failure, anxiety and loss of loved ones continue to grow in the country.
In times like these it is extremely heart-warming to see that there are generous souls out there who go out of their way to help others.
One of these generous souls is Germiston Golf Club member Alex Maditsi who gave all the caddies at the club financial aid last Saturday.

The funds will help the caddies get through the next few weeks.
The club closed their doors on March 26 and only reopened on June 14 as the lockdown restrictions eased.
The club also thanks GolfRSA, which not only helped the club’s caddies, but all caddies in South Africa with shopping vouchers in May to help them put food on the table for their families.
“We appreciate the efforts of both Alex Maditsi and GolfRSA for their generous contributions,” said the club.
