The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) held its first golf day in a decade on Thursday, 20 August 2026, at Benoni Country Club. More than 110 players took to the course, joined by hole sponsors and prize sponsors who gave up a working day for a cause that doesn’t often get a fairway.

Golf days are, in theory, simple events. Book a course, sell tickets, sell holes, hand out prizes. What made this one different was who showed up and why. Players travelled in from across Gauteng and beyond, some with long histories of supporting the NSPCA’s work, others new to the organisation entirely. By the time the last group came off the 18^th, the course had become something closer to a gathering than a tournament.

A Day Funded So Animals Don’t Pay the Price

None of this would have been possible without dotsure.co.za, the event’s main sponsor, who covered the full cost of hosting the day. That decision meant every rand raised on the course goes directly to animals in need, rather than being absorbed into event overheads. It is the kind of sponsorship that does its most important work quietly.

The day was also carried by a wide network of hole and prize sponsors, each contributing in their own way to a course, a leaderboard and a prize table that reflected goodwill across sectors: KUL Business Solutions, Rest Ur Ass Donkey Sanctuary, Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre, South Gear Co, Warrick Muller, Old Mutual PFA Gauteng East, Mandeville Dog Training Club, African Packaging & Water Solutions, Power Meter Technics, Stefanutti Stocks Inland, Healing, Easyweb, Only Fangs Mobile Pet Grooming, Wright Inc Attorneys, Jenna Clifford, TAL, Goldwagen Brentwood Park and Anchor Capital.

Businesses, individuals and a donkey sanctuary among them. Different corners of Gauteng’s commercial and community life, standing on the same course for the same reason.
