The webinar, hosted by Angela with guests from LEMS, Brian and Alan, focused on trust administration in South Africa, highlighting trustees' fiduciary responsibilities, trust termination, compliance with evolving regulations, and the challenges posed by unregulated or dormant trusts, emphasizing the importance of proper trust administration to avoid legal and financial penalties. ### Key Takeaways - Trustees in South Africa have critical fiduciary responsibilities to act in the best interest of beneficiaries, as regulated by the Trust Property Control Act, including proper record-keeping, reporting, and compliance with SARS and the Master’s Office. - The grey listing of South Africa has driven stricter regulatory scrutiny and compliance requirements for trusts, including declarations of beneficial ownership and increased reporting. - Trustees risk severe penalties (up to a R10 million fine or imprisonment) for breaches of fiduciary duties, with potential legal consequences for negligence or misuse of trust assets. - Proper termination of dormant or unused trusts is necessary to avoid ongoing reporting requirements, administrative penalties, and non-compliance issues. - Trusts with overseas beneficiaries face complex tax implications, including potential double taxation, which may justify their termination or restructuring. - Trustees can be disqualified for reasons such as mental incapacity, sequestration, or failure to exercise duties effectively. - LEMS provides specialized support for trust administration, termination, and resolving issues related to dysfunctional or abandoned trusts through streamlined, automated systems.

Who Should Join: Trustees and beneficiaries, come on in for some useful tips and advice! In this session, we'll chat about what trustees do and what they're on the hook for. We'll break down what the laws are trying to achieve and have a friendly discussion about the choices trustees have, plus the possible fallout and costs of each option. The webinar dives into what trustees need to manage, the hurdles in handling trusts, how things are getting trickier with new laws and international issues, and it gives tips on how to deal with or close down unnecessary trusts, all with a focus on trustees and beneficiaries. Trustee Knowledge Gaps: A lot of trustees aren't aware of their legal duties, which can lead to bad management and legal trouble. Purposes of Trusts: Trusts are usually set up for estate planning, cutting down on taxes, protecting against creditors, and looking after minors. Cross-Border Challenges: Managing trusts is getting more complicated, especially for those with international beneficiaries who face big tax issues. Recommendation to Close Redundant Trusts: It's a good idea to simplify things by shutting down unnecessary or poorly managed trusts to cut down on risks. Time & Location 27 Mar 2025, 18:00 – 19:00 Zoom - Trustee Risks & Responsibilities. Interactive discussion with Brian Payne and Alan Hockey Angela Alderton www.kzntopbusiness.com

It was back to school with a bang this year for many of Sappi’s neighbouring schools throughout the KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga regions, thanks to Sappi’s impactful ‘Back to School’ paper donation and matric excellence campaign. Reaffirming its commitment to education as a catalyst for long-term growth, Sappi has once again provided vital educational resources to schools in and around their communities neighbouring their mills and forestry sites. These handovers form part of a countrywide initiative, targeting Sappi’s communities adjacent to their manufacturing and forestry sites. In total, the company will be providing 72 tons of Typek paper—or 6,000 boxes or 30,000 reams— to about 300 neighbouring schools through this campaign. This initiative lessens the burden of purchasing paper for the schools that receive these donations, benefiting thousands of learners who now have access to other essential educational support and tools. A beloved household name, Typek office paper—manufactured at the Sappi Stanger Mill on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast—using bagasse (sugarcane waste residue) symbolises sustainability and local ingenuity. During the Back-to-School season, Typek becomes a staple for learners nationwide, empowering education and supporting SDG4: Quality Education. By reducing reliance on imports, this locally produced, eco-certified paper strengthens both the economy and access to essential educational supplies.

Sappi is not just addressing immediate academic needs but fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and opportunity.

These laptops help students step into university life, giving them the tools they need to navigate the digital world and help build a successful future. Education remains a strategic pillar of Sappi’s Social Impact strategy, aligning with its overarching vision of sustainability, empowerment, and socio-economic advancement. Through interventions like these, Sappi actively builds capacity within communities, unlocking the potential of future leaders and driving progress where it matters most. “This initiative is more than a donation; it is a bold statement of intent, a powerful demonstration of Sappi’s unwavering commitment to shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

The Beekman Group’s remarkable success story is rooted not only in strategic business ventures and market adaptability but also in the powerful legacy of the Beekman name itself. From its founding in the 1970s, the company’s identity has been intrinsically linked to its founders, John and the late Bram Beekman, who envisioned a business that would be synonymous with quality, trust, and innovation. The Beekman name carries with it a history of integrity and excellence, and it was this very foundation that the company would use to build a brand that has endured through decades of change. The decision to align the company’s identity so closely with the Beekman name was a strategic move that allowed the brand to develop a strong, recognisable presence in an industry where trust and reputation are paramount. This personal, family-based connection to the brand set Beekman apart in a crowded marketplace, and it became a hallmark of the company’s business philosophy: making extraordinary holiday THE standard. One of the key factors in building the Beekman brand identity was its commitment to innovation. By introducing new concepts, such as The Holiday Club in 1993, and pioneering the flexible Points System, the Beekman Group demonstrated a forward-thinking approach that not only revolutionised the vacation ownership sector but also enhanced the overall Beekman brand appeal. The Beekman name became associated with ingenuity, a promise that the company would always be looking for better, more efficient ways to serve its customers. As Beekman expanded into new markets, spanning resorts, property development, and even new international territories, the name was carefully leveraged to represent both the high standards set by the founders and the company’s evolving vision for the future. Beekman Managed Portfolio, Beekman Lifestyle Portfolio, Beekman Holidays, as well as each Beekman development, whether a legacy luxury resort or a new holiday property, has carried the brand’s promise of quality proudly, signalling to customers that they are always investing their family time and resources in a company with a rich history of success and an unwavering commitment to each, individual consumer. Today, as Beekman continues to diversify and grow, the name remains an essential part of the company’s identity. From its pioneering efforts in vacation and Sectional Title ownership to its established leadership in property development, the Beekman brand is a reflection of the legacy of its founders and their steadfast commitment to creating long-term value. By continuously building on the values first honoured by John and Bram Beekman, this colossal South Coast family business has sustained a lasting brand identity that resonates across generations. Today, as Beekman moves into the future, the pillars of its success remain as strong as ever, a symbol of stability, innovation, and the vision of its founders, continued through the love and dedication of the next generation of Beekman directors. The Beekman Group stands as a testament to the power of a brand built on trust and long-term reliability.

Global Recycling Day, observed every year on 18 March, celebrates the vital role that recycling plays in preserving the planet for future generations. This year’s theme, #RecyclingHeroes, shines a spotlight on the individuals, organisations, and initiatives driving sustainable practices and empowering communities worldwide. Among these heroes, Sappi’s ReFibre division – a small dedicated team - stands out as a trailblazer in transforming recycling into a powerful tool for economic and social upliftment. As a global leader in paper production, Sappi takes a holistic approach to sustainability by integrating virgin fibre, recycled fibre, and bagasse—a sugar-processing byproduct—into its paper-making process. This approach not only conserves resources like water and energy but also reduces landfill dependency, methane emissions, and environmental degradation. At the heart of Sappi's recycling success is its 100% outsourced business model, which relies on partnerships with over 40 private recycling, waste management companies and Corrugators in South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Among these, 24 are 100% Black-owned businesses, epitomising Sappi’s commitment to social transformation and shared value. Sappi's ReFibre division has been a cornerstone of its efforts, sourcing pre- and post-consumer brown recovered paper to meet the stringent quality standards of the Paper Manufacturing Association of South Africa (PAMSA) and international certifications like PEFC/FSC. Beyond recycling, ReFibre is a beacon of hope and opportunity for communities, enabling SMEs to supply nearly 20% of Sappi's post-consumer paper needs, and in the process, providing livelihoods for more than two hundred people. Empowering Recycling Heroes: Enterprise and Supplier Development In 2018, Sappi's ReFibre began identifying and supporting SMEs to integrate them into the mainstream economy. Through initiatives like loaning baling machines and providing comprehensive business development support and a secured market, the programme has empowered 24 SMEs across South Africa, with Sappi’s capital investment into the companies amounting to R14million, to date. These individual recycling companies now supply an average of 14,000 tons of post-consumer brown recovered paper annually to Sappi’s Tugela and Ngodwana Mills. Their efforts make a tangible impact in their communities in terms of poverty alleviation, job creation, and waste minimisation as they also collect and process other grades of recycled material like other recycled paper grades, and various grades of plastic and glass. Further business support comes through development initiatives in co-operation with Sappi Enterprise and Development Department which enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of these SMEs. By equipping these businesses with skills, resources, and opportunities, Sappi ensures their success and compliance with South African laws and policies as well as sustainability by offering a secured market for post-consumer brown recovered paper. "Integrating these SMEs into our operations has not only proven to be a successful model for securing the fibre we require but has also aligned seamlessly with our sustainability pillars—addressing the objectives of people, planet, and prosperity, “commented Frikkie Ueckermann, Sappi Senior Procurement Manager: Sourcing. "Since 2016, Sappi has been a tremendous help to ADDX Trading. They’ve not only helped us grow as a business but also given us the chance to create jobs. When we first started working with them, we only had two permanent employees. Now we’ve grown to six permanent staff, and two temporary workers, and we even support several informal waste collectors. It’s not just financially that we have excelled either—Sappi’s taught us so much about recycling and the environment, and we’re better for it in every way,” commented ADDX owner, Phumla Gamede. Her words are echoed by Benjamin Jack Magongo from Africa Green-Earth Projects, who shared the following sentiments: “"Sappi, your guidance and support have been the backbone of my success. From uplifting my rural waste reduction programme to teaching me vital skills in waste management and recycling, you’ve empowered me to grow and thrive. With your mentorship, I’ve built new opportunities, won awards, and connected with invaluable networks. Today, every achievement I hold is a testament to the unwavering support and wisdom you’ve shared. Thank you for helping me turn my dreams into reality." Sappi Refibre's story is a testament to how a well-crafted business model can drive sustainability and social upliftment. The people and SMEs involved in Sappi’s recycling initiatives exemplify this year’s #RecyclingHeroes theme, proving that recycling is not just about waste management—it is about shaping a greener, more equitable world and creating a better future for all.

Bell Equipment understands this reality and commits to supporting operations no matter how isolated or challenging the environment. Whether it’s a mining site in the Northern Cape or a construction project in a remote area, Bell Equipment ensures machines keep running smoothly. The Challenge of Remote Operations Working in remote locations presents unique challenges. Harsh weather, difficult terrain, and limited access to resources can slow down or halt operations. Machines are critical in these environments, and any downtime can lead to costly delays. Limited access to repair services means machines must be reliable and easy to maintain. Rugged terrain requires equipment that can handle tough conditions without frequent breakdowns. Unpredictable weather demands machines that perform consistently under stress.

This comprehensive support network means that even in places like Askham, where the landscape is vast and isolated, machines stay productive. Real-Life Example: Bell Kuruman’s Impact in the Northern Cape Gert De Beer from Bell Kuruman shared photos of his ‘office’ in Askham, showcasing the rugged beauty of the area and the equipment in action. This example highlights how Bell Equipment’s support reaches deep into remote regions. The machines operate smoothly despite the challenging environment. The local Bell team provides hands-on support, ensuring minimal downtime. Operators feel confident knowing help is nearby, even in isolated locations. This real-world case shows how Bell Equipment’s commitment translates into reliable performance and peace of mind for customers. Why Reliable Support Matters In remote operations, downtime is expensive. It can delay projects, increase costs, and reduce safety. Reliable support from Bell Equipment helps avoid these issues by: Reducing machine downtime through quick repairs and maintenance. Improving safety by ensuring machines are well-maintained and operators are trained. Enhancing productivity with equipment that performs consistently. Building trust between operators and the support team. This support creates a strong foundation for successful projects, no matter where they take place.

EThekwini Metro, via Invest Durban & other Sister Units who co-sponsored the Investec South African Open Championship, extends its heartfelt congratulations to South African golfing Pro, Dylan Naidoo on his extraordinary achievement at the recent SA Open Championship. Dylan made S.A. history on 2 March 2025, securing the championship title with a dramatic play-off victory at the iconic Durban Country Club. His success as a young Black Professional is a moment of immense pride, inspiring all golfers and showcasing Mzanzi’s rich golfing heritage in a similar fashion to the great “Papwa” Sewgolam. This Legend of the past was also honored at the event with a banner wall on the 1 st tee box, and a permanent marble plaque overlooking the 18 th green. As the second-oldest National Open in the world after The British Open Championship, this prestigious tournament attracted 156 professional golfers from around the globe. However, unprecedented heavy rains forced the curtailment of the final round, reducing the event to 54 holes, plus a “sudden death” playoff. Dylan and England’s Laurie Canter were tied at 14 under par on the penultimate round, leading to the dynamic play-off last Sunday. With remarkable composure, Dylan birdied the first play-off hole to claim the Investec SA Open title in nail-biting fashion. This victory marks his maiden DP World Tour title and places him amongst only six other esteemed South African golfers who have previously won the SA Open. Naidoo’s triumph carries deep significance for KZN, and South Africa as a whole. The Durban Country Club is where, in 1963, Sewsunker "Papwa" Sewgolum became the first player of colour to win a professional golf tournament in South Africa, clinching the Natal Open. Reflecting on this historic moment, Naidoo shared, "For what this means in terms of Papwa Sewgolum and him having won the Natal Open here, it’s incredible. I feel like he was with me here today." His journey from local courses to international recognition is an inspiration for future golfing talents. Beyond the immediate accolades, Naidoo’s victory secures him a DP World Tour card and a coveted spot in The Open Championship at Royal Portrush this July, marking his major tournament debut. "I mean, I’m on the DP World Tour! That’s outrageous! I’m going to be playing around the world against some of the best players in the world, and I’m playing in The Open. It’s a dream," said an elated Dylan. His achievement is a testament to his dedication and the unwavering support of his family, particularly his father, who witnessed his historic win, along with his Caddie, coaching staff and Friends. Invest Durban’s Role as Partner Invest Durban was Blessed to be given a servant-hearted opportunity to support and jointly facilitate a world-class event like the Investec South African Open, endorsed by DP World. Invest Durban’s commitment to driving investment and economic growth in eThekwini is reflected in its strategic Partnerships, which not only enhance Durban’s global profile but also generate significant economic benefits for All. Beyond the prestige of the tournament, hosting this event has a substantial impact on the city’s economy and job creation. According to Golf RSA, the golf sector contributes R49 billion to South Africa’s economy, accounting for approximately 4% of GDP and providing employment to over 40,000 people each year. Invest Durban’s involvement in such a series of events underscores its mission to position Durban as a premier destination for investment, tourism, and international business events, ensuring sustainable economic and social benefits for the region. In addition, this series of events will continue later this year with the Tour Partners co- hosting a golf and lifestyle congress, plus international Investor engagements abroad. Strengthening Durban’s Global Profile The Investec South African Open Championship at Durban Country Club further cements the region’s growing appeal as a world-class lifestyle and business hub. This Partnership extends beyond the tournament itself, incorporating key elements such as additional Sunshine Tour events alongside the golf & lifestyle convention, designed to enhance Durban’s global presence. Aligned with Africa’s Travel Indaba, this initiative strengthens Durban’s international standing, providing opportunities for local tourism businesses to attract global golf enthusiasts and investors. The event is a strategic step in positioning Durban as a leading destination for both investment and tourism.

DURBAN (KwaZulu-Natal) – When the rain finally stopped, they came. They came and they filled the grandstands and surrounded the 18th green at Durban Country Club. They came because not a waterlogged golf course nor a championship decided over 54 holes could stop history. They came to see Dylan Naidoo become the first South African player of colour to win the Investec South African Open. Dylan Naidoo, winner of the 114th Investec South African Open. Credit: Carl Fourie/Sunshine Tour With South Africa’s Naidoo and England’s Laurie Canter tied for the lead on 14 under par after three rounds, a deluge of rain on Sunday forced the cancellation of the final round. It was then decided that the two of them would settle this year’s championship in a playoff on the par-four 18th. And with the weight of history resting on his young shoulders, Naidoo stood tall as he made the birdie on the first playoff hole that shook South African golf history.  The fact that this former member of the GolfRSA National Squad did it at a Durban Country Club where in 1963 Sewsunker “Papwa” Sewgolum made history as the first player of colour to win a professional golf tournament in South Africa in the Natal Open added to the history of the day. “For what this means in terms of Papwa Sewgolum and him having won the Natal Open here, it’s incredible. I feel like he was with me here today,” said Naidoo.  The victory secures Naidoo a DP World Tour card and he also claimed one of the three spots on offer for The Open at Royal Portrush this July on a magical Sunday. A Sunday when his father had flown in to watch a final round that didn’t happen, then left for the airport to fly back home for work on Monday, then raced back from the airport to watch the playoff and see his son step into golf history. “Me and my dad have been through it all, and I couldn’t think of someone more special to share this with. It’s just been the best day ever. I mean, I’m on the DP World Tour. That’s outrageous. I’m going to be playing around the world against some of the best players in the world. And I’m playing in The Open. It’s a dream,” said Naidoo.  South Africa’s Darren Fichardt and England’s Marco Penge were the other two players to also secure a place in The Open through the Investec South African Open’s status as part of the Open Qualifying Series. South Africa’s Christiaan Maas finished as the leading amateur and winner of the Freddie Tait Cup for the second time in his career, ending the tournament on 12 under par overall. It was indeed a day for dreams, the biggest of which no doubt belonged to Naidoo.  “I felt like I had nothing to lose in the playoff. I just wanted to go out there and have fun and do it. To have my name on the Investec SA Open trophy is unbelievable. It’s like a fairytale,” he said.   SCORES 202 - Laurie Canter 69 65 68, * Dylan Naidoo 70 61 71 (won in playoff) 203 - Marco Penge 68 67 68 204 - Christiaan Maas 70 64 70, Branden Grace 65 68 71, Darren Fichardt 63 70 71 205 - Dale Whitnell 72 63 70, Andrea Pavan 67 66 72 206 - Scott Jamieson 72 66 68, Shaun Norris 66 64 76 207 - Richard Mansell 71 67 69, Joost Luiten 67 70 70, Ugo Coussaud 70 68 69, Fredrik From 65 67 75, Sam Bairstow 65 66 76 208 - Jacques Blaauw 69 69 70, Jaco Ahlers 70 67 71, Nathan Kimsey 70 69 69, Haotong Li 66 69 73, Jeong Weon Ko 68 71 69, Jayden Schaper 66 69 73, Brandon Stone 68 67 73, Rhys West 70 64 74, Todd Clements 66 66 76 209 - Kieran Vincent 70 66 73, Richie Ramsay 66 70 73, Thomas Aiken 68 68 73, Ivan Cantero 68 67 74, John Parry 66 69 74, Kazuma Kobori 67 73 69, Gavin Green 70 70 69, Alejandro Del Rey 74 66 69 210 - Keith Horne 65 72 73, JC Ritchie 69 69 72, Nikhil Rama 68 67 75, Jamie Donaldson 68 72 70 211 - Jordan Gumberg 68 70 73, Dean Burmester 69 67 75, Troy Merritt 69 67 75, Lyle Rowe 71 68 72, Jacques Kruyswijk 71 68 72, Yurav Premlall 72 68 71, Martin Vorster 74 66 71, Andy Sullivan 71 69 71, Aaron Cockerill 69 71 71 212 - Charl Schwartzel 72 65 75, David Ravetto 69 69 74, Jorge Campillo 69 70 73, Manuel Elvira 71 68 73, Marcel Siem 65 70 77, George Coetzee 71 69 72, Joel Girrbach 68 65 79, Rupert Kaminski 74 66 72 213 - Justin Harding 67 69 77, Michael Hollick 73 66 74, Rafa Cabrera Bello 68 67 78, Richard Sterne 68 72 73 214 - MJ Viljoen 69 67 78, Shubhankar Sharma 66 72 76, Romain Langasque 69 71 74, Matthew Baldwin 71 69 74 215 - Luke Jerling 69 71 75 216 - Dylan Frittelli 69 69 78, Jean Hugo 70 69 77 217 - Maximilian Steinlechner 67 72 78, Callum Tarren 71 69 77 218 - Freddy Schott 70 70 78 219 - Keelan van Wyk 69 71 79, Chris Paisley 74 66 79 RTD - Sean Crocker 72 64 RTD Missed the cut:- 141 - Jonathan Broomhead 71 70, Daniel van Tonder 76 65, Connor Syme 72 69, Casey Jarvis 72 69, JJ Senekal 68 73, Nicolas Colsaerts 69 72, Robin Williams 72 69, Malcolm Mitchell 70 71, Adrian Otaegui 73 68, Oliver Lindell 69 72 142 - Ruan Korb 73 69, Alfredo Garcia-Heredia 72 70, Zander Lombard 67 75, Ricardo Gouveia 73 69, Calum Hill 74 68, Jacques P de Villiers 73 69, Angel Ayora 72 70, Gregorio De Leo 68 74, Francesco Laporta 76 66 143 - Peter Karmis 72 71, Rhys Enoch 73 70, Benjamin Follett-Smith 72 71, Matthias Schwab 75 68, Louis Albertse 74 69, Jovan Rebula 73 70, Martin Couvra 68 75, Jens Dantorp 69 74 144 - Kayle Wykes 74 70, Tom Vaillant 74 70, Jaco Van Zyl 71 73, Johannes Veerman 69 75, Kyle McClatchie 74 70, Brandon Wu 71 73, Heinrich Bruiners 71 73, Hennie Otto 74 70, Simon Forsstrom 74 70, Joel Moscatel 73 71 145 - Ryggs Johnston 75 70, Martin Rohwer 71 74, Deon Germishuys 71 74, Astin Arthur 73 72, Wilco Nienaber 72 73 146 - Bryan Newman 73 73, Ross Fisher 74 72, Ryan Van Velzen 73 73, Keenan Davidse 75 71, Oliver Bekker 72 74, Stefan Wears-Taylor 71 75, Ulrich van den Berg 73 73 147 - Brandon Meads 74 73, Stephen Ferreira 73 74, Pieter Moolman 74 73, Bjorn Akesson 74 73, Kristoffer Reitan 75 72 148 - Dan Bradbury 72 76, Keagan Thomas 73 75, Toto Thimba Jnr 73 75, Sentanio Minnie 72 76, Kyle Barker 72 76, Jack Hawksby 78 70, Combrinck Smit 74 74 149 - Charl Barnard 77 72, Neil Schietekat 77 72, CJ du Plessis 73 76, Sean Paxton 75 74 150 - Jordan Duminy 79 71, Thanda Mavundla 75 75, Ethan Smith 74 76, Franklin Manchest 74 76 151 - Johan Theron 80 71, Jordan Burnand 72 79 152 - Mikael Lindberg 76 76 153 - Joshua Berry 77 76 154 - Matthew Spacey 80 74 157 - Gerhard Pepler 82 75 158 - Robson Chinhoi 83 75 159 - Albert Venter 81 78 164 - Tristin Galant 85 79 167 - Steven Le Roux 84 83 WDN - Louis de Jager 77 WDN WDN, Herman Loubser 74 RTD RTD, Dylan Mostert 82 RTD RTD, Quintin Wilsnach 75 RTD RTD, Adrien Saddier 77 RTD RTD, Trevor Fisher Jnr 78 RTD RTD, Jean-Paul Strydom 78 RTD RTD

(Credit: Carl Fourie/Sunshine Tour) DURBAN (KwaZulu-Natal) – Dylan Naidoo walked onto Durban Country Club’s 18th green and threw his arms up as Durban’s golf fans stood on their feet cheering the young South African who shares the lead with England’s Laurie Canter in the Investec South African Open. In near darkness and with the field having finally caught up the suspensions caused by the heavy rain earlier in the week, Naidoo parred the last for a 71 and a share of the lead with Canter on 14 under par. Canter signed for a solid 68 on a windy and tricky day at Durban Country Club. “I felt like Tiger Woods out there. It was outrageous. I had crowds that were five deep following me. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. It was just like an overflow of emotion. I’m ready for everything the final round has in store,” said Naidoo, who is chasing a maiden DP World Tour victory after coming close with a runner-up finish in December’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. Naidoo and Canter will go into Sunday’s final round one shot clear of England’s Marco Penge, while former Investec South African Open champion Branden Grace, Darren Fichardt and amateur Christiaan Maas are currently tied fourth on 12 under par. But Saturday’s wind was a true showcase of the changes made to this venerable golf course and where its real strengths lie. “It was a Test match out there. It was really difficult with the wind swirling, and it really was a case of patience and grinding,” said Naidoo. Canter felt the same as he opened with a double bogey and then had to dig deep to get his challenge back on track. “The golf course was a different animal in the wind. It was so much fun to play and such a great test. I like seeing the course with wind because I think that’s how it’s meant to play,” said Canter, who is looking for a double after winning the 2010 South African Amateur. And just two shots back, Grace has a second Investec South African Open in his sights. “It was just so amazing to see the crowds out there. I love this place and I’m looking forward to the final round,” he said. Maas has easily wrapped up the Freddie Tait Cup for leading amateur as he also heads into the final round just two shots off the leaders.
