THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE PRIME MINISTER, SAM MATEKANE, OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED THIRD EDUCATION CHARITY GOLF DAY

The Right Honourable the Prime Minister, Samuel Matekane, officially launched the third edition of the Prime Minister’s Education Charity Golf Day, scheduled for 5 February 2027 at the Maseru Golf Course.

Speaking at the Press conference, Prime Minister Matekane called on businesses, organisations and individuals to join hands with the Government in investing in quality and inclusive education and expanding learning opportunities for children across Lesotho.

“Every child in Lesotho deserves the opportunity to learn and fulfil their potential, regardless of their circumstances. Through the Prime Minister’s Education Charity Golf Day, we are inviting every sector of society to play a part in making education more accessible and inclusive for our children,” said Prime Minister Matekane.

Since its launch in 2025, the initiative has mobilised substantial support towards children’s education. The inaugural event raised more than M1 million to provide assistive devices for 598 children with disabilities, while the second edition, held in March 2026, mobilised more than M6 million in cash and in-kind contributions.

The third edition will bring together Government, the private sector and development partners for a golf tournament, followed by a fundraising and awards dinner, with proceeds and pledges directed towards supporting children’s education, including that of children with disabilities.

The Prime Minister has invited stakeholders and members of the public to support the initiative through tournament participation, sponsorship, attendance at the fundraising dinner and general pledges.

Participation and sponsorship opportunities:

– M50,000 for a four-ball golf tournament entry.

– M20,000 per hole for hole sponsorship.

– M25,000 for a table at the fundraising and awards dinner.

– General contributions towards children’s education are also welcome.

Registration for the golf tournament is available at the Maseru Golf Club, while further details regarding dinner reservations and the online pledging platform will be shared with confirmed participants.
