Acting Minister of Police, Professor Firoz Cachalia, hits the first ball from the tee to kickstart the golf challenge, February, 27, 2026.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) says it aims to raise R50 million through its seventh National Golf Day to support its Education Trust.
The fundraising event will be held at the Serengeti Golf Estate in Kempton Park on Friday. It seeks to secure the future of the children of officers who died in the line of duty.
Last year, the initiative raised R11 million in KwaZulu-Natal.
The funds are being used to assist learners from primary to tertiary level.
Acting Deputy National Commissioner for Support Services, Lineo Nkhuoa.
“Every year in September, we gather at the memorial site at the Union Buildings where we honour our fallen heroes. Last year, we honoured 27 of them. If you have attended our Commemoration Day, you will realise that our officers leave behind young ones who must still go to school. So we made a commitment in 2010 when the former Minister of Police, who was the National Commissioner then, introduced the SAPS Education Trust and said this trust would raise funds to support the Educational needs of the children of our fallen heroes. So today we are gathered here to do exactly that.”
