Euphoria Golf and Lifestyle Estate came alive on Friday, 23 May 2025 as George Mahlakgane Financial Services (GMFS), in partnership with Santam, hosted the inaugural GMFS x Santam Golf Day; a purpose-driven event that seamlessly blended sport, strategy, and social impact now in its fourth year.
Bringing together clients, business leaders, and community stakeholders, the event proved to be more than just a game of golf. It was a celebration of relationships, transformation, and giving back. Held at the prestigious Euphoria Golf and Lifestyle Estate, the day was marked by powerful networking, brand building, and an unwavering focus on community upliftment.
“As always, our goal was to create a space where authentic connections could flourish while driving real impact. We’re proud to say the day delivered on that promise,” said George Mahlakgane, Founder and Managing Director at GMFS.
A flagship on the GMFS calendar, the Golf Day serves a greater purpose; strengthening business ties, elevating brand visibility, and most notably, raising funds for the GMFS Educational Fund, now formally named Dipeu. The fund supports top-performing students from TVET colleges in and around the Capricorn district, ensuring that the leaders of tomorrow are given the opportunities they deserve today.
Headline sponsor Santam played a vital role in the day’s success, reinforcing a shared commitment to inclusive growth and the development of previously disadvantaged brokers. “Santam has been a long-standing and values-aligned partner. Their continued support through events like this makes a meaningful difference in both our industry and our communities,” Mahlakgane added.
The day also saw generous contributions from supporting sponsors, including BMW Polokwane, Lebowa Funerals, Dino Panelbeaters, Professionalz, Absa, and Old Mutual Insure – all of whom added to the pot of proceeds going toward the Dipeu Educational Fund. In total, R50 000 was raised, marking a significant investment into the educational futures of young people in the region.
Among the distinguished guests were Presiding Bishop of Grace Bible Church, Mosa Sono, accompanied by his apostles, as well as renowned player manager Jazzman Mahlakgane and veteran coach Khabo Zondo – further elevating the prestige and community spirit of the event.
The choice of golf as the platform was intentional. Known for attracting senior professionals and decision-makers, the sport created an ideal atmosphere for quality conversations and enduring relationships. From spirited competition on the course to heartfelt exchanges during the prize-giving and networking mixer, every moment was designed to foster connection and purpose.
“This is more than just a game – it’s about legacy,” said Mahlakgane. “Over the years, we’ve supported various charitable initiatives, but we realised that sporadic giving was not enough. The Dipeu Fund allows us to sow into a long-term vision and track the real impact we’re making.”
As the sun set over the Euphoria greens, attendees left with more than just memories – they left inspired, connected, and committed to a shared vision of growth, transformation, and community empowerment.
George Mahlakgane Financial Services, through the GMFS x Santam Golf Day, once again demonstrated its dedication to client appreciation, impactful giving, and industry leadership – one meaningful connection at a time.
