AS the Nedbank Golf Challenge (NGC) begins this morning at the Gary Player Country Club (GPCC) at Sun City, it will come with a host of new challengers for players.

- MICHAEL SHERMAN

As one of the marquee courses in South Africa, GPCC is continually striving to provide a sterner test for the top golfers in the world. The 2025 edition will be no different, with a number of changes to some of the most well-known holes that may just prove pivotal in determining the outcome of the tournament.

In an exclusive interview with Independent Online, NGC tournament director Ken Payet spoke about the changes to the famed layout made alongside Gary Player.

“When it comes to the NGC, we’re synonymous with providing both a great spectacle and challenge for the players,” said Payet.

From apartheid’s ‘Green Mambas’ to today’s closing libraries

THE current rate at which public libraries in the Durban Metro are closing, or downsizing, or laying-off workers, again spirals my mind back to the inglorious days of South African apartheid when, whilst Black people were confined to using the unkempt, overcrowded infamous “Green Mambas’, as transport systems, the White People enjoyed a far cleaner, more efficient Red Trolley Bus service.
