Driving Change from the Fairway
The journey began on the greens of the 2025 North Coast Corporate Classic, where eXp Realty and the iLembe Chamber of Commerce launched a new era of sport and business collaboration at the worldclass Zimbali Country Club.
Broadcast on SuperSport’ s Super Golf, the event brought together executives, athletes, and decision-makers for a day that celebrated leadership, innovation, and community upliftment.
For Andrew Thompson, CEO and Country Leader of eXp Realty South Africa, it was about more than sponsorship:
“ Zimbali Country Club is the perfect venue for what this event represents— it’ s where vision and precision come together, just like the partnership between business, sport, and community upliftment.”
The partnership with Laureus Sport for Good was at the heart of it. Proceeds supported programmes that empower youth through sport, addressing challenges like violence, inequality, and socio-economic hardship.
“ Our collaboration with Laureus goes beyond sponsorship,” Thompson added.“ It’ s about impact. Together with leaders like Marlene Coetzee- George and their network of ambassadors, we’ re investing in the kind of future South Africa deserves— one where young people can rise above challenges and thrive through the power of sport.”
