Lively Golf day with Naas Botha
On May 13, the Middelburg Chamber held its annual corporate golf day at the Middelburg Country Club. The day was filled with laughter and excitement from 144 registered players who made for a very crowded field. 18 T-box sponsors and 6 greens sponsors ensured that we had a decorative, creative and energetic golf course. Each with its own music and games.
The programme director for the awards ceremony was Christo de Ridder from ThinkSolutions. The master of ceremonies, the famous Naas Botha, provided an evening full of jokes and fun and an interactive evening with the audience. Naas Botha was the cherry on top of our Chamber’s already successful event.
Anna-Marth Ott, CEO of MCCI, opened the event and welcomed all the sponsors and players. Corrie Barnard of FAW Highveld Commercial, the main sponsor, followed by Dawid Westermann from Nashua Mpumalanga, addressed the crowd, giving them a short overview of the main sponsors’ businesses.

Tourism Mentorship Workshop

The workshop will provide opportunities and resources for interested tourism services providers to learn and benefit from successful tourism services providers (experienced owners).
The purpose of this Mentorship is to provide the resources necessary to strengthen the tourism industry by developing skills and increasing business knowledge of tourism operators;

Enhance the strength of the tourism industry over the long term by providing resources (Financial) and opportunities for tourism businesses.
Mentors will share their expertise and knowledge and provide support and encouragement to help tourism business owners to remain focused on what is important for the success of their business.

On Friday, 7 May, the MCCI hosted our 2021 Golf Day. All had great fun, and the day was a big success. We had a full field with our Tee Box sponsorships and teams that played.
Sports stars were all about as Fanie De Villiers came out to meet and greet the local schools’ cricket teams and entertain the golfers at prize-giving,
Pollen Ndlanya showed up for a fun game of golf with us, and many a golfer came to enjoy the day.
MCCI started this event to bring businessmen and women together, to network and market themselves. And this year has shown that it is a definite benefit to join us on this day.
With like-minded individuals sponsoring and joining in on the game, this is a fantastic way to meet new business individuals.
All sponsors get unique social media marketing and exposure to the MCCI Affiliations and the Middelburg Community.
And for the Golfers who just came to enjoy the day, there were numerous prizes to be won! A lucky draw and even a small auction.
From 1st to 10th was recognized with a few other categories: Nearest to the Pin, Longest Drive, and the most accurate drive of the day.
A new tradition was started with Sandra Lawrenson from MCCI doing live Facebook interviews with the Companies that
attended and sponsored—giving more and more value to the Companies and Sponsors involved.
A big Thank You to all our sponsors and teams, from CEO Anna Marth Ott and the MCCI Team.
May next year be even better!
