About Us

Driven by Purpose, United by Passion

Our Mission

Our mission is to create opportunities for South Africans of all backgrounds to participate in sports at the highest levels. Starting with golf, we aim to equip youth with the skills, mentorship, and resources to excel on and off the course. Sport is a powerful vehicle for personal growth, discipline, and community engagement, and we are committed to leveraging this power for social good.

We are committed to breaking down barriers and providing opportunities where they are most needed. Whether it’s a young golfer stepping onto the green for the first time or an emerging athlete looking for guidance, Equla Projects is here to support their journey, both on and off the field

At Equla Projects, we view sports as a powerful tool for social change. We are committed to using our platform to promote inclusivity, equality, and opportunity for all. By breaking down barriers to entry and creating pathways to success for young people from diverse backgrounds, we are contributing to a more equitable society.

Our vision is for a South Africa where every young person, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the chance to pursue their dreams. Sports are a means to that end – a way to build bridges, inspire change, and create a brighter, more inclusive future.

Our

Focus Areas

Equla Projects has identified several key focus areas within golf, which serve as pillars for our development initiatives

Golf at the Wild Coast
The Wild Coast is home to one of South Africa’s top golf courses, and we aim to use this prestigious location to boost tourism and showcase the beauty of the area. Our tournaments will bring attention to the Wild Coast, while also creating economic opportunities for local businesses. Additionally, we will offer guided tours that highlight the history of the region, including Winnie Madikizela Mandela’s upbringing, paying homage to her contributions to South Africa’s legacy

Women in Golf
Equla Projects is committed to promoting Black women’s excellence in golf. We believe that creating spaces for women on the greens will inspire future generations and break down barriers in a traditionally exclusive sport. By shining a light on female athletes, we are creating a vision for others to follow.

Accessibility in Golf
Golf is often seen as a sport that requires privilege—access to clubs, lessons, and resources. Our goal is to change this narrative by providing affordable access to the sport, ensuring that all youth, regardless of their financial or social background, can play and excel in golf. We aim to remove the barriers that traditionally prevent underrepresented communities from participating.
Explore
Cultural Integration
Today’s golfers come from diverse backgrounds, and we want to reflect this diversity in every aspect of our programs. Through the Winnie Madikizela Mandela Golf Day, we will introduce aspiring golfers to world-class standards while integrating local culture into the sport. By using locally made products and incorporating cultural elements into the event, we create an authentic and enriching experience for all participants.
