1. Introduction “Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation.

They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care

for and protect our people.” Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

The golf industry is staring a problem in the face. The number of young people playing the

game is falling and with it golf clubs are battling, with memberships dwindling. Little is being

done to stop this trend and it is a major concern. Along with this, there are a number of

social and socio economic issues that face our country and are not being addressed. Issues,

such as crime, drug abuse, gang related violence, HIV aids, unemployment and underage

pregnancy are prevalent in our society.

The answer to addressing these problems lies in the children, the next generation, the future

professionals and captains of industry. It is important to ensure our children are given the

opportunity to learn physical, mental and emotional intelligence, with a solid set of core

values.

Bakusasa Trust is more than a golf development organisation, which provides disadvantaged

children with tools, information and knowledge to learn these important life skills and core

values. Using the sport of golf, which is often compared to the “game of life”, Bakusasa Trust

is providing a solution to the problems of shrinking markets within the golf industry by

introducing the game of golf to thousands of children. It is also providing a solution to the

social and socio-economic problems in South Africa by empowering children with the ability

to make informed choices and become captains of industry. This holistic approach is

producing professionals who play golf, rather than golf professionals.

Bakusasa Trust’s complete pathway to success includes strategic partnerships with golf clubs

and golf facilities within KwaZulu-Natal. This synergy provides the ideal platform to create

mutually beneficial solution to Bakusasa Trust, golf club and golf facilities achieving their

objectives and a return on investment for stakeholders.

2. Proposal Overview Bakusasa Trust will partner with preferred golf clubs and facilities in a mutually beneficial

memorandum of understanding. The MOU will detail the benefits and responsibilities of

each party as laid out in the Partnership Proposal below in 4. Partnership Proposal.

The partnership between Bakusasa Trust and golf clubs and facilities will become a unique

development initiative for the specific golf club or facility and will receive the recognition

and accolades as such. There are numerous activities that golf clubs and facilities can assist

Bakusasa Trust in its sport for social development program.

3. Bakusasa Trust Executive Summary BAKUSASA TRUST, a non-profit organisation under Awesome SA (NPO Registration Number:-

059-801-NPO) was formed on 18 July 2013.

BAKUSASA TRUST is a “Grass Roots” initiative and “First Touch” Program that introduces golf

to disadvantaged children from deprived areas, with the purpose of using the sport of golf

as tool to provide children with the opportunity, information and knowledge to build

character, learn core values, to become physically, emotionally and socially developed

citizens of South Africa.

BAKUSASA “Sport for Social Development” age-appropriate program is a unique and

innovative combination of Long Term Athlete Development, Emotional Intelligence, Life

Skills, Fundamental Movement Skills, Fundamental Sports Skills and a solid set of Core

Values. The progressive program allows children to develop at their own pace, ability and

enthusiasm. Furthermore, it is based on the developmental age of children, rather than their

chronological age

BAKUSASA TRUST provides a positive impact on children, their families and communities, through the great game of golf. It provides the perfect framework for optimal growth,

played. The donation for each round can either be an additional cost to the player by

adding 1 (one) South Africa Rand to the current green fee structure, or contributing

1 (one) South African Rand from the current green fees charged.

Rand) to Bakusasa Trust by 5 December 2015.
