The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is gearing up for its highly anticipated Annual Fundraising Golf Day taking place today at the scenic Whiteriver Country Club in Mbombela, Mpumalanga.

The event brings together TUT community, alumni, corporate partners and golf enthusiasts for a day of sport, networking and meaningful fundraising in support of TUT students, particularly those in the “Missing Middle” category who require financial assistance to complete their studies.

“We are delighted to host this Golf Day in Mbombela. It represents more than just a sporting event, it is a powerful platform for collaboration between the University, its alumni and industry leaders. The funds raised will directly support student success and help us continue delivering quality education that produces future-ready graduates,” said Dr Pule.
