I played in the Presidential Golf Challenge since its inception to date..! Im told its Planning Committee has decreed that no none will be invited this time around unless one pays or sponsors a four ball for 100k..! Some of us are pioneers of this golf challenge..Yet today we outDA MP and spokesperson Solly Malatsi suggested that Yengeni's statement showed a sense of entitlement.
