He has lived through some of the harshest laws imposed by the Apartheid government including the Group Areas Act - which saw his family forcibly removed from their home in Sophiatown to Soweto, Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, Bantu Authorities Act, Population Registration Act, and the Suppression of Communism Act – which saw the late Nelson Mandela tried and imprisoned for 27 years.It is through this lens that Jerry Dlepu shares the story of how he and many others pursued their passion to play golf under the extremely difficult circumstances created by the Apartheid government - starting as caddies at white-only golf clubs and later playing the gentleman’s game across the country, the African continent, and eventually around the world. It is a story that captures hardships and the will and perseverance to overcome them. It is also a story that shows transformation is not something that is achieved overnight, but rather through consistent effort from all stakeholders. A collective retelling of lived experiences for future generations to remember.vizualizați mai puține
