The HomeComing Foundation is making strides towards improving school sanitation in South Africa with the launch of its inaugural Charity Golf Day, aiming to raise R3.5 million for sustainable sanitation infrastructure at schools in the North West Province.
Scheduled for November 6, 2026, at the prestigious Sun City Resort, this event will gather around 100 participants, including corporate executives, business leaders, investors, and government representatives. The day will focus on golf, networking, and purposeful giving, fostering connections that can lead to meaningful community impact.
The Charity Golf Day is part of the Foundation’s flagship initiative, #TheBucketStopsWithMe, which aims to replace unsafe pit and bucket toilets in South African schools with proper sanitation facilities.
Farai Mushazhirwa, Director of the HomeComing Foundation, emphasized the long-term goal: “We want to identify a school, understand its needs, and create a safe environment for learners, one school at a time.” This approach aims to build a sustainable program that creates lasting change within communities.
This golf day is designed to unite South Africa’s corporate sector around a shared social impact goal. Oratile Sangweni, Director of HomeComing Events, explains the choice of golf: “Golf has a unique ability to bring together business leaders and government stakeholders, allowing us to mobilize the necessary support for our initiatives.”
The Charity Golf Day is part of a broader event, the Sun City Takeover, which blends entertainment, business, lifestyle, and community engagement, extending beyond mere entertainment to address urgent infrastructure challenges in schools.
The Foundation’s commitment to improving school sanitation builds on previous successes, notably at Lehlaga Secondary School in Limpopo, where unsafe toilets were replaced, significantly enhancing the learning environment. The impact was particularly significant for girl learners, who benefited from safe, private facilities that allowed them to attend school with greater confidence.
The R3.5 million fundraising target will fund various aspects of the sanitation project, including:
• Site assessments
• Construction and materials
