Mayor golfing for charity
2019 Marks the year of the Inaugural Mayoral Charity Golf Day
The day was an exciting experience and a relaxing moment; Executive Mayor Councillor Linah Malatjie hosted the 2019 Charity golf day.
2019 Marks the year of the Inaugural Mayoral Charity Golf Day.
The office of the mayor has identified a number of charitable organizations and individuals who are in need of support and resources to enable their continued existence.
These include amongst others; Old Age homes, Disabled centers, Women and Youth Charity organizations, Pre-schools and Day-care centers, Child-headed homes and many other destitute households that have been identified by the office of the Executive Mayor.
It is also the Executive Mayor’s desire to make this Mayoral Charity Golf Day an annual event which will be held subsequent to the annual state of the municipality address (SOMA).
Whilst it is an ordinary fun day for all golf fanatics, it is also meant to promote social cohesion while seeking to address the social and economic inequalities in the communities we live in.
The municipality faces some serious challenges of social and economic inequalities, addressing these challenges requires a partnership that embraces business, industries and the larger community of Emalahleni to change the lives of those who are less fortunate and trapped in abject poverty.
The concept of the Emalahleni Mayoral Charity Golf day endorses the executive mayor’s desire to partner with businesses operating within the municipality as well as members of the community in taking a step in a journey which is aimed at addressing the plight of those who are less fortunate and making a difference to the lives of ordinary citizens of Emalahleni.
The Executive Mayor Cllr L. M. Malatjie wishes to thank the sponsors whose heartfelt contribution made a significant difference to the event and will be of paramount transformation to the beneficiaries.
Furthermore the Executive Mayor wishes to extend her gratitude to all the players who contributed to making the event a success.
The Emalahleni Local Municipality looks forward to hosting all the sponsors and participants in the year 2020.
It was an honor and privilege to host an event of this magnitude and your presence was sincerely appreciated.
