The Steve Biko Birthday Invitational Tournament 2010

On the 18th December the Steve Biko Foundation and the Ben Jonas Golf Development Trust hosted the 3rd annual Steve Biko Birthday Invitational Golf Tournament at the King William’s Town Golf Club in the Eastern Cape. The tournament was extremely successful with over 160 players on course – an increase of some 33% on the previous year. With the weather being ideal for a round of golf, it was a fantastic day on which we commemorated the birthday of Bantu Stephen Biko and continued his legacy of community upliftment with remarkable success being achieved in the competition by a number of developmental players.

On November 17th 2010, the Steve Biko Foundation hosted the second dialogue in the Franktalk series at Museum Africa in Newtown. Franktalk is an innovative program for individuals committed to utilizing their skills and experience for the advancement of South African society.
