AmaZulu host charity golf day Thursday July 30, 2009 The Mount Edgecombe Golf Course on Tuesday 28th again hosted a group of business people and golf loving individuals under the AmaZulu FC banner to help contribute towards feeding homeless children of the Gozololo project.

Mrs Mirriam Cele and Terry Rosenberg the co-founders of Gozololo were delighted by the prospect of receiving assistance of this magnitude from Usuthu.

Mrs Cele also known as Mam’ Gozololo had this to say, “I am delighted because it means the children will be fed. We can also pay the 20 employees we have who help us in looking after the young ones”

Spar also currently assists by a great deal with donations of groceries worth R20 000 on a monthly basis.

“We only decided to 'piggy bank' on Spars’ relationship with Gozololo,” said Peter O’Connor. Peter said they as the club decided on their own on how to arrange for the donation on top of an already existing relationship between the project and Spar.

“Seeing as that Gozololo is situated in the KwaMashu community. We thought it would be best to organize this golf day and agreed with our sponsors to put all the proceedings towards feeding the children,” said Peter.

In unusual fashion perhaps, almost half the technical team of AmaZulu were present. The team of Marc Van Heerden, Bradley Ritson, Divan Augustyn, and Trevor Madsen came in fourth place as a team. The players beat their coaches Neil Tovey and Carl Peterson who could only make 7th place.

After losing out on playing in the Telkom Charity Cup, a reality some Usuthu fans are still battling to come to terms with, the clubs’ effort towards charity works remains the same. The clubs’ spokesperson, Philani Mabaso has been reiterating to the media that the money spent on charity works is not lost but planted to a good cause.
