We know it has been tough, but
@GolfRSA
would like to extend our sincere appreciation to every person within the industry that have shown restraint, faith in the process & support for their clubs & the Golfing Bodies that have worked to re-open golf - we salute you all!
So saddened to learn that our Vice-Chairman of the Board, Jabu Mabuza, has passed.
A charismatic gentleman who exuded kindness & integrity, Jabu was a treasured supporter of GolfRSA & he will be sorely missed - our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
Rest in Peace, Jabu
