MEDIA RELEASEThe 2024 Nedbank 4 Good Golf Series concluded last Friday with the final at Omeya Golf Club where Cehesta Walters and Burger Bergh won the respective catagories, while Agra ProVision banked N$250 000 raised by the competition.
The successful conclusion of the series has been a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and community support. Since its launch five years ago, the series has brought together golf players and stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to champion causes that uplift, empower, and create lasting change in communities across the country.
The conclusion of the series saw men and women winners from each preliminary round, face-off at Omeya where they battled it out for the chance of being crowned champions of the 2024 Nedbank 4 Good Series.
At the prizegiving ceremony, which took place at the Nedbank Campus Sky Garden on Friday eve, Nedbank Namibia Executive for Wealth Management and Bancassurance, Biniam Ghirmatsion, expressed his gratitude towards the ogranising teams for yet another successful Nedbank 4 Good Series.
“At Nedbank Private Wealth we believe in connected wealth. This means that we believe that our money decisions reflect, reveal, and enable what is important to us. Therefore, us supporting this cause connect our money to what we feel is an important initiative. Philanthropy is not just about giving away money; it should go far beyond that - it should make a difference that lasts beyond our own lifetimes. It should be about creating a legacy that touches lives, uplifts communities, and builds a sustainable future for many generations to come.
“When the series started in 2020, the initial cause which we supported through this golf series was the Autism Association of Namibia. For three years the event supported the association and managed to raise over N$600 000 as well some much-needed awareness, understanding and knowledge about people living with autism.
“Last year, the Rössing Foundation was the primary beneficiary, and we managed to raise a remarkable N$250 000 to aid learners and teachers in rural areas who have limited access to educational resources. Each of these organisations continues to do vital work in our communities, and we are proud to have stood alongside them in their mission to empower and uplift the people in communities where we serve, ” Ghirmatsion said.
The Chief Executive Officer of Agra, Arnold Klein, said: “This competition is about bigger causes which align with Agra’s values. We believe in reinvesting in our communities and supporting the future of agriculture in Namibia.
“The funds raised through this initiative will be directed to Agra ProVision dedicated to empowering people through skills development and capacity building. By offering practical and tailored training, Agra ProVision helps create opportunities including food production, employment, entrepreneurship and community growth.”
At the end of the prizegiving, series organiser and DZ Golf Coordinator, Dan Zwiebel, thanked all the golf players for making this year’s edition of the Nedbank 4 Good Series one for the books and expressed this appreciation to all the sponsors which enabled his team into ensuring they become bigger and better.
