The Golf Day is not only to celebrate and play golf, but to network and raise funds to grow and strengthen partnerships in order to make teaching and learning possible for the Northern Cape and South Africa as a whole.\u201d He also thanked sponsors and especially Standard Bank for their involvement in raising funds.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Professor Andrew Crouch, SPU Vice-Chancellor and Principal, explained the importance of investing in young people, saying, \u201cThe youth, not only in the Northern Cape, but across South Africa, are our future. If we don&#8217;t invest adequately in the youth, then we&#8217;re not investing in our future. That is what this is about.
