CELEBRATING YOUTH EXCELLENCE
There are not many young girls at 12 who can say they have beaten President
Cyril Ramaphosa at anything. But Tokollo Dlamini – a budding golf star – is
one.
During the 2019 State of the Nation proceedings in Cape Town in February,
Dlamini showed off her golf skills as she took on Ramaphosa in a
demonstration mini-game.
And even for a man who famously takes a long view of life, Ramaphosa was
no match for Dlamini’s long game … her drive went way further than his.
Linah, her mom, works as a waitress at the Kempton Park Golf Club – and
that is how Dlamini got into the sport.
Wanting a way to keep her daughter off the streets, Linah introduced the girl
to golf when she was just eight.
