The Symphonia for South Africa hosted a successful Golf Day tournament to raise funds for quality education in all public schools in the country.
The event was held on March 23 at the Kyalami Country Club. Symphonia for South Africa (SSA) CEO Komala Pillay said they were pleased with the turnout and to have partnered with different companies who had to buy a hole on the golf course for R2 000 per hole. “Overall, [we are very pleased with the] successful golf day, and this is our first-ever golf day,” said Pillay.
Pillay said their programme also known as #TheFutureWeWant pairs principals with business leaders in a 12-month collaborative leadership journey.
“We want to see a future that is prosperous, that is peaceful for all our young people. A key for us to achieve and see that dream turn into a possibility is through quality education for every young child in South Africa in all the public.”
Brand South Africa’s marketing and activations coordinator Kutullo Matloga said they were pleased to have partnered with Symphonia for South Africa as their partners for a possible flagship. “As a nation brand custodian, we have a job to get all South Africans to play an active role in building each other up and to uplift communities by making a positive contribution. That is why we saw a need to support SSA in their good initiative,” said Matloga.
Pilla concluded that through these partnerships, principals are supported to drive positive change in their respective schools where they can create an environment conducive to quality teaching and learning.
