The annual Kiaat Private Hospital CANSA Golf day was hosted on June 4 at Mbombela Golf Club.

Sisters from Kiaat Private Hospital were at the registration area to test the players’ blood pressure and sugar levels.

“The day was a big success because of companies that sponsored the event and tees, and entered four-balls. Thank you to each one that took part, as well to those companies that sponsored the pop-a-balloon, raffle prizes and prizes for the winning golfers. Our MC Michelle Buys ended the day on a great note, raising more funds for us with an auction,” said Rinella Jansen van Vuuren, CANSA Lowveld’s sustainability co-ordinator.
