From livegolf side and singer GC side, I would just like to welcome every one of you in this room uh specifically the media both uh online and in this room because uh your voices matter telling the story and bringing golf uh to new audiences across the world, it matters.

It is time for Africa. Uh the last one uh big event like this we had in South Africa was the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup or not the FIFA World Cup, not club world cup. Uh and it really was a big unifier and it was part of South Africa’s DNA and it brought all of us together. So I’m very very excited uh to be here. I mean they flew me in guys specifically for this. How cool is that? No, I’m joking. I actually work for them. I have to be here. Um let me welcome the gents on the stage. Uh I’m very honored to welcome Scott O’Neal, CEO of Live Golf. The man’s been working hard this week. Uh and our honorable Gay Mckenzie, Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture South Africa, Doug Muner. We’ve also got Panyaza Lassufi, Prem of Khen Province, looking ready for summer. The Sorry, the weather’s not really allowing that. Um and then we’ve got Steven Lo, CEO of Stain City Properties. Thank you so much. And Louisen, captain of Stinger GC. uh if you just give put your hands together because they’ve all been working incredibly hard [Applause] to bring this all to life and I know I’ve been teasing to it and um given what you are wearing now Scott I don’t think there’s any surprise uh but I would like you to make this official announcement. Well, a career and I suppose a life is is really about the moments and and the moments that matter. And I feel like this is one we have today. Um, and we’re here to announce that Live Golf has made a multi-year commitment on behalf of the premier and the minister to go to South Africa. It’s amazing. No, it’s incredible. and and uh in in 2026, we will be there from March 20th to March 22nd at the club at Stain City. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you. Um it’s a it is it is one of those these moments I I don’t think I’ll I’ll soon forget. And I I’ll just go back a short four months. And I was with Louiesie and Charl and Dean and Gracie and Richard, their GM. And we were sitting over over a dinner in player dining. And um I, you know, I was called to the meeting. I didn’t know quite what we were going to talk about. And and I remember hearing, well, we want to go to South Africa. And I said, go, you know, we got a week off, you know. No, they said, no, no, no, no, it’s not. No, no, we want to play. We want to play. We want to go home. And um it was one of those just just like transformational moments because what we see, what you don’t all get to see, what I get to see is just the love and and passion and feel that these four incredible human beings that happen to be worldclass golfers have for their home country. um they they actually had the flag on the back of their kit and and you you can’t walk um five minutes with one of them without hearing about a special memory or a special moment or a person that impacted their lives. And to understand the impact that they want to have on this next generation of golfers is nothing short of inspirational. It’s nothing short of of all all it should be to be world class in anything you do is what the Stingers captain by Louie represent. And then to have the chance to meet the minister um who’s who’s a force for good, a force for change, a force for economic development. And then just recently meeting the premier who has that same energy and love and and I will tell you um that that old uh saying you know that it truly takes a village to bring uh an event of this size and scope to a new location. And I I I will speak for myself in saying that meeting the minister in five minutes and speaking to Ross Howlet and and Chris Bentley, two of my colleagues here, we knew instantly this is a place we want to be for a very long time. Um I am I’m humbled. I’m thrilled. And I will tell you that um to to the amazing country of South Africa uh we bring an amazing uh group of people. We bring the best players in the world of golf and and we bring airplane flights and we fill hotel rooms and we fill restaurants. In in Australia just last year we had 84 million US dollars of economic impact. We also bring social impact. What you will see and and and hear from Louiesie and the Incredible Stingers GC is how they want to impact the children. It’s it’s we do provide free tickets of course for children under 12 to go because we believe that matters. But it’s the getting clubs in kids’ hands. It’s the helping in education. It’s it’s helping the world that we actually have the privilege to live in to be better and get better. We believe that the values of golf, humility, resilience, consistency, hard work, all those values that the world needs more of come through golf. And so the more people that can play, I think the better we’ll be. The other thing I remember from that that amazing meeting was it’s not DNA, just RSA. You’ll be just fine in South Africa Scott. Well done. Well, golf golf is for everyone and and the the tickets are priced that way. The tickets are on sale now and we look forward to seeing you in South Africa. Thank you so much, Scott. Now over to Minister Gateon McKenzie. How are you feeling finally getting this over the line? We know you were in Korea. Um, what wooed you, Live Golf or Stinger GC? Was it a combination? How do we get this over the line? No, thank you. Thank you very much. You know, it’s it’s an incredible feeling. I’m sitting here with so many emotions. Uh I come from a great country and and the greatest country in the world in in my opinion and I think this would not have been possible. Let me start with live golf. You know live golf has taken a step that I think is worth emulating for all the major sporting bodies around the world. Lev go understand that it cannot truly be called an international competition if it misses a continent and I thought it’s going to be very hard to convince Lev that they have to go to South Africa. I can tell you after meeting Scott the CEO, after meeting Ross, I have nothing but praise for them. Live golf is in good hands as people that understand that understand that we as Africans also deserve one of the greatest golf shows. I call it a show because this is not just a tournament. It’s a show. And and and I want to tell South Africans that this is great for economy, but this is also great for people spreading false rumors about our country. And you have stinger GC. You know, I’m sitting here next to Louie. We worked many nights strategizing with Stinger and I come across as a person that knows a lot about golf where I would speak to love and I remember Scott was shocked when he heard that I’ve never touched a golf stick. But that knowledge came from all the guys of Stinger. Louie, you guys are incredible, incredible ambassadors for your country. You don’t forget South Africa. You are one of the greatest ambassadors of our of our country. And it came out in how you taught me. No, Minister, this is what we want to do. This would not have been possible. And and let there be no doubt that I’ll be rooting for Stinger. I’ll be wearing nothing else uh as you see today. And then I also want to just uh give praise to the premier that instantly when I came to see him he instantly said what do I need to do he didn’t say what are they going to do for us says what do I need to do and in conclusion when you come to South Africa you know people talk about Cape Town Cape Town is a great great city one of the greatest cities you can go to but very few people understand Kha where you’re going to you’re going to you’re going to see the credle of humankind you’re going to see the big five you’re going to see the deepest mine in the world I mean there’s so many things for your kids to see as gold reef city like it’s you you got to bring the whole family down to South Africa to koeng it is the city of gold it is the city of golden things you just going to love the night life. You’re going to love the day life. South Africa is a great country and I’m glad that we’re going to have 54 of the world’s greatest golfers. You know, I want to bring honor to Bryson. He was the first golfer outside Stinger to came to come to me and say to me, you got to fight hard for us. Bryson Desamu, thank you for telling me that you guys want to go there. And I just want to say to OG, we need to have another tattoo when we go to thank you so much OG for your help and I’m really emotional. Thank you for making it less difficult. I’ve been in so many of this negotiations, but the management of Liv Golf, I’ve got no doubt in my mind that live go is going to grow. You’re going to go places because of your attitude, how you treat people, how you speak to people, how you understand. And South Africans, you’ve heard Scott stole my speech. I wanted to tell you about all the money they are bringing, what they’ve done in Australia. And I’m not going to say much about Australia except that, you know, we’re going to have more people than Australia there. And in Australia, my minister, my counterpart, uh, the fight is on, the challenge is on. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Minister. Also, um I know there are five people here, but this is not the big five. Hey, there are actual there are actual animals out there in South Africa. Lion. Yeah. So, it’s sitting next to me. Um Premier, I’d just like to go over to you because this is coming to uh you heard the massive cash injection and just the impact it’s going to have in more than one way. What does it mean for Khen to host an international sporting event of this caliber? To me, lift golf is not about golf or sport. It’s about people and where people are the economy moves and when the economy moves it create opportunities for all and that’s the exciting part of it and want to thank everyone that has been part of this thing and I always tell people there are only two provinces in South Africa is Kha and the rest and they’ve chosen and they’ve chosen and for that we’re excited the economic cup of the country contribute more in terms terms of the GDP of the country. So, we’re more than excited. We’re hosting the G20 head of states summit now in November and next year the big one leave golf. It’s real. It’s unbelievable. It’s in Africa. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Let’s push this economy. Boy, I love it. Thank you so much. Uh, Premier Pyazi Pñaza Sufi rather. Now over to Louie. Uh I mean you feel the it’s happening. It’s coming. You’ve been in negotiations with uh the minister and live golf and everyone. Um it must be quite a relief to get to this point. Louie, how are you feeling? Yes. Now um very excited about having the tournament in South Africa. Everyone that that was involved in doing this. I remember meeting Mr. McKenzie and Korea for the first time. And um I think the idea there was just for him to introduce to introduce him to live and all of a sudden he’s like no we’re coming to South Africa 26. I’m like, “Okay, this is this is really happening.” So, um, but to everyone involved, um, you know, the Stinger Management, Liv, um, you guys, it’s it’s unbelievable to make this happen. I can’t wait to see the faces of 10, 11, 12 year olds watching golf in South Africa, seeing their heroes play. Um, Phil, Bryson, Brooks, all these guys. Um, so it’s going to be a massive thing for our country and to grow the game. And just in terms of you’ve got the South African flag or a version of it draped around your shoulders, but what does it mean to have that South African support out there when you’re playing like how does it feel to play at home versus other places? It’s different at I mean we got some good support here this week but at home everyone supports you. So, um, you know, I think if there’s if there’s guys that’s not going to support you in South Africa, they’re probably going to be kicked out. But, um, I can assure, but, uh, but yeah, the the will be unbelievable. And, um, I’m definitely keeping this today cuz, uh, looking at the weather, I might need this. But, um, but yeah, we’re very excited and, um, it’s been something close to the four of our hearts to to bring a tournament, a lift golf tournament to South Africa. And, um, just very excited. That’s likely. So we’ll see Lini’s fell which is a a felt schoon you’ll get to know it when you come to South Africa uh very soon and then Steven Low welcome well done it’s coming to Stain City he’s CEO of Stain City Properties but it’s happening in at your venue and how does that feel I mean it’s it’s absolutely amazing and I think uh the premier and the minister and everybody said it already but we’re also incredibly humbled you mentioned that as being one of the the values and we feel incredibly humbled um first of all that it’s coming to South Africa it was a massive the fact that it’s in even better. Um, and for us personally to have been awarded the privilege of hosting this at Stain City is an incredible honor. So, I just like to thank you um, Scott, you and your entire team uh, for putting your faith in us. And then Mr. McKenzie and uh, and uh, our premier to be able to bring this to South Africa is just incredible and well done to you. Really amazing. And tell us about the club. What do you think makes it a good fit for Live Golf? You’ve obviously seen live golf in action now. Yesterday we saw in the suite. Thanks for drinking the castle lights. We appreciate it. Uh but how’s it been? It was a bit of a hardship drinking those castle lights. Um it’s it’s much bigger than I could ever have imagined. I mean, you see it on television, you see it on YouTube, but until you hear and you actually experience it, you just don’t know what the vibe and the energy and what live golf is actually about. Um and as the minister says, I don’t think it’s only golfers that come. And that struck me yesterday when I was when I was here as well. I think um this is really what presents the massive opportunity for us. Um is that it’s going to bring youngsters through and Louie, I think your you and your team in particular are going to have such a big role to play in this. You’re right. I think every South African is going to want to come and watch you play. Um and it’s just going to inspire a whole new generation. Um what makes it important for us, I think at at Stain City, we’re in the heart of Kha. Um so very close to all the transport nodes, so very easy for international visitors to fly in and get to Stain City. um a good infrastructure, good road network, um a second airport. Uh so locals are going to be able to get in very easily into our into our facility. So I think the location’s really good. Um and then for the players and their families, um I’ve seen there are some logistics involved um in in certain courses. Once they’ve checked into Stain City, that’s it. They can chill. They can focus on on their game and their families can focus on having fun. You know, we’re a family orientated lifestyle estate. uh very very safe with wonderful things to do. So we’re looking forward to hosting um all our players and administrators at Stain City. Thank you. If I could, I might might just add um we um there are very few courses that can handle tens of thousands of of fans every day and we’re very fortunate to partner with the RNA and aronomy and oftentimes work work hand in hand and we look forward to that that journey to to um embracing developing and and making sure that the world gets to see and experience a world-class golf course. So, thank you very much. Yeah, just before we get to uh the media questions both in the room and that have been presubmitted online. Uh Stephen, just in terms of the course, what can players expect? So, it is a a Nicholas design course, so obviously Mr. Nicholas loves his bunkers, so there are lots of bunkers. It’s just over 7 km long, but for these amazing players, that’s not really a test anymore. Um so, we’re going to have to toughen it up a little, we think. Um we’re going to have to grow in the the fairways a little, make them a little bit narrower. Um, and I think for a lot of the players on on this tour, they’re not always used to playing on koui grass. Um, it can get that nice and juicy. So, we’re going to we’re going to make the rough tough for them. And I think it’s going to be a premium to to be hitting the fairways, but we also want to see birdies and and eagles. I think it’s going to be a little bit of everything. Um, so we are working with Scott’s team. They’ve been out already to come and inspect the course, and we’ve got nine months to prepare, and we want this course to be absolutely spectacular by the time the players arrive. Well, there we go. All right, ladies and gentlemen, for those in the room, do we have any questions? Mike, thanks. So, so Lou, it’s three years ago this month, you started this journey with LIB and uh uh you guys won, swept the podium on the individual. I just was curious, was that a dream from day one to to get to this point now where you’re going to be able to play in your home country? Yeah, absolutely. Um, I think this has been since the first year we played the the four of us. Um, it started in 23, I think, beginning of 23, the four of us started talking about how are we ever going to get this to to South Africa and I think the talk started then on how can we do it. Um but um you know it’s a it’s it’s a lot of behind the things behind the scenes um stuff to do and and um it became a lot easier when when we had the support from from um a lot of people and and Mr. McKenzie has been unbelievable his team and then Liv came on board and then the wheel started really uh rolling and that was um you know this year. So um uh we it was always a massive thing. I I think at a stage there in 24 we probably thought I don’t know if this is going to happen if we’re going to be able to do this and then um you know it it sort of overnight happened and and I think it’s still a shock to me like thinking when I watch I’ll watch this afterwards to just realize that it’s actually coming to South Africa but um yeah we we are very excited. Any other questions? OG the tattooed man. Uh, two questions for Scott and the minister. Um, Scott, I guess, um, LIF, as the minister said, is a global league. What does it mean to be going to the African continent um for the first ever time for Live Golf? Well, I mentioned before this this is a real special moment. We we fashion ourselves as the F1 of golf and and with that comes quite a responsibility. You know, first off, that it’s more than just golf. You come here and you will find music and concerts, there’ll be art, there’ll be dances. It’s it’s a special experience. Uh the other responsibility we have is to make sure that golf is not squirreled away in one corner of the world and that we can take worldclass golfers everywhere in the world. Um, and the rich history and tradition of of golf and the golf legends of South Africa and the extraordinary players we have from South Africa here makes it the perfect opportunity to do that. Something the minister said really struck me is it’s this is an experience. It’s a festival and everyone is welcome. And you come to our events and you’ll see 40% of our attendees are are women. That’s very unusual for a golf event. We have families. We’re about 15 years younger on average than most golf events around the world. And you’ll you’ll walk today as we walk today and there’ll be parents with strollers. There’ll be packs of of young women. Um young young women under 18 is the fastest actually the fastest growing segment of new golfers in the world today. What an amazing opportunity to take those values of golf and inspiring the next wave of young women golfers. So, so I will say that this is an experience like no other and we cannot wait to be on the continent. Minister, this I guess is right up the alley of your department because it’s not just about sports but general minister of arts and culture as well. Um, from that viewpoint, how will South Africans get to benefit and what can we expect from your department on that level? Well, you know, is uh OG, I’m not only the minister of sport, but I’m also the minister of sport, arts and culture. So when I I had dinner with Louis and the team and they were taking me through the motions of what Liby is about, I said, “Okay, fine.” But what I experienced in South Korea, I I was in a hurry. I said, “I’m going to I didn’t want to stay the whole I wanted to go back home to get a ball rolling.” I left the Saturday. I was like, “I’ve seen enough. I I need to go and get the ball rolling is live ex you know live is I I don’t even think is ready for what they’re going to experience in South Africa. You know I I I’ll tell you a story uh OG quickly. I was in Brazil and I was sitting with some Brazilian ministers and ministers from other countries and we were talking about which World Cup was the best and none of them mentioned South Africa and I said excuse me and the waiter they were serving us. We asked him are you a football guy? He said yes. So I asked him which world cup do you think was the best? He says uh I said all right. He says, “I think uh let me think more.” I said, “All right, give me any World Cup song of all the World Cups that you’ve attended.” And he said, “Waka Waka.” Yeah. So, South Africa brings the vibe. I think love is meeting the spiritual uh brother in in South Africa because what we are going to show love we’re going to take this great product and even make it greater with our dancing with our drums with our music and putting the South African flavor on top of this already great flavor. Love golf is nothing what you hear. It’s everything what you’re going to feel. Thank you. Any other questions? Sorry, that was a great line there. I hope someone’s going to quote that. Second voice will follow up. Lynn News 24. Uh yes, I have two questions. Um the one is maybe for I I don’t know if it’s for the minister or uh stay in city but I wanted to know obviously SC uh Steven you met you spoke about the upgrades and infrastructure and uh just the renovations obviously that comes with the cost um who is fitting that bill and does it come from the government does it come from state sponsorships what is the deal yeah so we’ve we’ve had a very long-standing relationship with um with the province of Khen and for many many years when we started our development. We’ve had public private partnerships with uh with the Kaeng and the premier’s office. So that’ll continue. I mean we’ve we’ve built road infrastructure, we’ve put in water infrastructure. Stain city isn’t just about the community of Stain City. It’s about our surrounding community as well. So everything that we seek to do there, we seek to uplift our our local community. And also in speaking to to Louis about their wonderful foundation. We think there going to be so many great touch points um around how we can work with the Saint City Foundation, the Stingers Foundation. and I’m sure Liv would like to get involved as well. So all these things are collaborative. They’re partnerships. Um and that’s how we’ve approached this, you know. So all details have not been worked out. This is very very fresh. Uh but the relationship so far has been amazing. And I think with that with that attitude of and willingness to work together, uh we’re going to find solutions to any of the challenges that might crop up. Just just one more. Um I wanted to ask Scott obviously uh and I’ve asked the minister about this last week uh about ticket prices. Obviously it’s it’s a major thing in South African sport at the moment because obviously not all South Africans can afford um because of the wage gap and everything but I wanted to know what was your do you have a strategy on that and how do you make it so that all South Africans can be involved whether poor or oage sure they’re actually on sale now about $20 US but the translation of that in your currency is No, 20 $20 is around 400. Between 400 and 600. I travel quite a bit. I’m not sure what kind of currency. I I literally have nine currencies in my pocket right now. So, um yeah, about about $20. We think it’s very affordable. Um tw children under 12 get in for free. And the idea is that golf is for everyone. And we want to make sure that um the experience um of of watching golf hopefully contributes to those some picking up a golf club and playing. Can I just add that please? Uh Scott has been traveling a lot as he says I saw the ticket prices we negotiated that it’s more $30. Uh it’s more $30. It’s very affordable. Very affordable. It’s it comes up to around 600 rand. It’s very affordable. And I can tell you it was a big part of our discussions with LIF and they have truly truly truly truly being very accommodative for that price for South Africans if you can compare to other countries and also the fact that they added the fact that children under 12 is free. So it’s a family affair as you can see here there’s families coming. Uh so I want to say to South Africans the tickets are on sale. We know South significance we always like to buy last minute. Let’s not make that mistake this time. Uh let’s go and get our tickets. It’s $30 around and it is for the whole family. And just on one point there, it is going to showcase our local artist. It’s going to showcase our local dancers. Fashion is also very high here uh in at live. So fashion is also part of what South Africans love. So the price for me I can tell you thank you uh uh Scott for coming down and being accommodative with a price. They also include at least one concert big concert we have which we’re not announcing yet. Yes. Yes. But we also on site will have a concert or two um Friday and Saturday night typically and that will that will be part of the show. It’s part of your ticket price. In South Africa, you pay more for a concert alone. Uh you sometimes pay more for golf, but now you have a combo happening and it’s going to be very affordable. And I’ve been to the concert. I’ve seen the stage being set up here. South Africans, we are in for a treat. Thank you. Any other uh comments from the room? More questions from the room. All right, we’ll move on to the presubmitted questions. Um, this is from John Goliath, Independent Media, uh, for Scott. Uh, was it a tough decision to choose a host venue for this event? It’s always I mean I mean there’s so many moving pieces and factors um in in in selecting and working with markets in selecting um venues in selecting the city in countries and uh fortunately Ross Howlet my colleague who’s back here somewhere um leads leads that quite a bit u and he’s very excited about staying city. Uh we also have Chris Bentley uh as one of our colleagues who is here as well who lives in the market which is nice and so it’s very nice you know and as we it’s this is a truly global league this is our fifth continent we’ll play on in in 2026 and so you know the more it’s a very global league but the more we’re here the more we understand how important it is to be local and um and and Chris has a lot of confidence in this man right here and and the club at Stain City, Nicholas Design as he mentioned um has hosted very big events along the way. I believe uh European tour um I believe Sunshine Tour events as well. So it’s got great experience. It can hold the crowds. We have outstanding leadership and a wonderful partnership. That’s amazing. And now from Michael Trman I uh for Mr. Gator McKenzie, what will bringing a live golf event to South Africa do for the development of the sport in the country? I think the uncomfortable truth about this great sport called golf is that it has not truly broke through to the poorest of the poor or the underprivileged in our country and the masses of black people. Golf is still seen unfortunately. So despite the hard work that the people that’s involved in golf has has tried but they’ve not truly made it a sport for everyone. It is still seen as an eliter sport in a country of 60 million people. It’s an expensive sport. And when when I was it was little sticks and golf live impact that don’t only speak about the tournament but it speaks about CSI to the max uh live impact once when they leave they want to leave an impact behind. And that is what when Louie told me that that is what got me to say this is more than just golf. It also showcases our talent. We also going to have headliners which which we’ve discussed which is still a surprise but this is one of the biggest headliners in the world that will play and perform but that headliner will perform with local artists which will also give local artist uh exposure. So if you if there’s any comp you know if if I have a 500 choices to bring anything to South Africa regarding sport I will choose love each and every time because of what love represents. Thank you. Thank you. And this is for Louie. Uh I know you said you are very excited about it coming to South Africa but on the course I know you’ve not played at Stain City before but what have you heard and what are your thoughts uh around Stain City and the course? Yeah I’ve heard great things. I know their tournaments has been played. Um before I spoke a little bit to Stephen yesterday and I know Chris is going to be on it as well, but um I think um you know we do have uh the famous Kuyu out there and and um I think if we can grow grow a little bit off that and um and make it a little tighter where those long guys hit it. I don’t need it that far anymore. So I want to make it so this fits me a little better. But uh but uh but yeah, we want we don’t just want to have a bombers and birdies festival. We want a little bit check with Dean on that. No, I know is a bomber. I know. I know. But but we’ll we’ll set it up. We’ll try and set it up fair but but tough. And um I know um we’re going to do some good work together. Dean Dean is going I think in the next few weeks he’s going to visit there. I’m going to make a visit when I go back to SA as well just to see um you know um what we’re dealing with but it’s a Nicholas designs will be a great great layout and um I’m looking forward to to spice it up a little bit. Thank you so much Lou and this is from Martin Netwan um also for Mr. McKenzie, I guess what uh you’ve sort of answered it, but maybe let’s Do you think this will be the biggest golf tournament in South Africa? And I quote here since the President’s Cup in 2003. Yes, it will be. It will be. Oh, you just full in Scott. Do you think I’m going to talk? I would say it in two languages because that’s an African uh media president’s cup. It’s going to be the biggest undoubtedly there’s going to be this is the biggest golfing tournament not in South Africa. This is going to be the biggest golfing tournament in Africa. I can tell you now that there’s going to be nothing bigger and the year thereafter it’s just going to grow from strength to strength. So let I let me not be miscoded. That’s why I want to speak the language of the readers of that paper. There is nothing bigger that’s going to come down. Live golf is going to change and rewrite the rules of golf in the world and it’s going to happen in South Africa. What you’ve seen in sorry South Korea what you see in Australia, sorry Australia is nothing compared to what you’re going to see in South Africa. No DNA, just RSA. In case you’re wondering what means, the it’s a just basically means bigger and bigger and bigger five times over. So in Africans, one of our 12 official languages in South Africa. You’re welcome. Um, one more question and this goes sorry, it’s back to you mate. Uh can you speak to any planned investment into South African Gulf infrastructure, the youth development, community initiative initiatives tied to live golf’s potential expansion into the region? Uh maybe I mean Pazi you can also uh step in there. Yeah. But the premier will just add there but I just want to say what we’re going to do uh uh as government we are going to get involved with the stingers. They have what they call the foundation. uh we are going to get involved and help in but I must also salute corporate South Africa that has reached out corporate South Africa has reached out to make golf bigger and and to work uh with us on this and we are channeling all of that through the foundation cuz the plans that the the Stinger boys all four of them have for the country to you know we’ve been speaking extensively with Richard the manager and saying how Do we grow golf and we we realize that there’s going to be clinics in Kicha. There’s going to be clinics in Elorado Park. There’s going to be clinics in Alexandra. You know, we’re going to just pour the corporates are willing to put money behind us and we just going to work together with everyone to make golf. There’s not going to be us and them. We going to work together because at the end of the day, we must put country first. Uh panel premier you know what excites me about Stain City the story of Sten City will now be known worldwide. Stain City is nothing else but a private public partnership. It came purely because private sector and government came together and say here is a development that we need to grow and now that is going to host this tournament. It’s just exciting. Um even though we are hosting it as housing but we really believe we’re hosting it on behalf of the country we are also uh going to make it possible for other provinces especially young children uh children to come to understand this sport. I’m here with the our provincial minister of sport. Um from here we are announcing every Wednesday uh in our schools in Koeng is golf day. Every Wednesday until the tournament kicks in so that we plant it inside the school premises so that the young ones can take advantage of the free entry that we have. So we’re having golf every Wednesday in Koing in our schools as a buildup to this important important activity to us. This is big. This is what we need. We need that in our office. You know, I will say um also we we’ve talked quite a bit with the with the premier and the minister just about the platform and the platform is we you know we’re in 900 million homes around the world for television. So as you think about a commercial for tourism for South Africa, as you think about for Stain City, the club at Stain City, as you think about the beauty, you know, you talk about seeing the big five, how do we showcase all that’s wonderful about South Africa, all that’s wonderful about this course and this region so that more tourists can come over time in terms of our our ability to drive change in a market. It’s kind of it’s it’s who we are. You know, we talk about three things when we’re together. We talk about how do we put more clubs in kids’ hands and so what kind of training development skill set can we use the education system as a way to use golf to help. We talk about sustainability. You’ll be well verssed in this very shortly but we always leave courses better than we found them in terms of sustainability around water and energy. And then the third is is a refugee program that we have which may or may not be applicable in in your market but we work through the UN. So in those three markets when we come into a market in particularly a new market we cannot wait to engage but for my first love is the kids and more of them playing golf. Well, thank you so much Scott Louie Minister Premier Steven. Thank you so so much. Uh we cannot wait to bring it. If I just know Shakira again, it’s time for Africa. So, thank you so much. There’s another saying in Africans we uh which dri coined Vietn. So, thank you so much and once again congratulations live and singer GC. Wonderful job too. Thank you very much.
