Pickleball Tournament Raises Funds For Community Cleaners
Story 1
Community Cleaners supporters swapped litter bags for pickleball paddles at a fundraiser in Fairland.
The round robin tournament gave volunteers and supporters a chance to connect outside the organisation’s regular neighbourhood clean ups.
Entry fees went towards Community Cleaners, while local businesses also contributed prizes and items for participants.
Organiser Alison Blair hopes the fundraiser will become an annual event, with other activities also planned to give more people a chance to support the organisation.

Golf Day Honours Benjamin Monyanyedi
Story 3
Organisers of a golf day in Kempton Park brought players together to honour Benjamin Monyanyedi and his contribution to making golf more accessible.
The event included a tournament, followed by a gala dinner and prize giving ceremony.
Monyanyedi’s family says his work challenged the idea that golf should only be accessible to wealthy communities, while promoting opportunities for young people in townships.
The event also highlighted career and business opportunities within the golf industry beyond playing the sport.
