Danie van der Merwe and Celonika Robinson were crowned winners of round four of the 2025 Nedbank for Good Series at the Okahandja Golf Club last Saturday.

This round marked the series’ debut in Okahandja, making it the first new course added to the 2025 season. Two more venues are scheduled to join the series later this year.

In the men’s division, Van der Merwe came out on top with a superb score of 42 points, ahead of Kobus Zietsman with 37 points in second place, and Bertus Myburgh with 36 points in third.

In the women’s division, Robinson took the honours with 32 points.



Nedbank for Good Series organiser Dan Zwiebel expressed his excitement following the successful fourth round: “It’s incredibly exciting to have brought the Series to a fantastic new venue like Okahandja Golf Club. Seeing the enthusiasm here just fuels our passion for growing the sport and its impact.

We’re already looking forward to teeing off at two more new courses later this year, further expanding our footprint across Namibia.

A massive thank you goes out to all the golfers whose unwavering support for this series translates directly into much-needed funds for disadvantaged communities. Our vision is to bring the Nedbank for Good Series to as many local clubs as possible.”

Zwiebel also paid tribute to Nedbank Namibia for their support and hinted at further expansion.



Nedbank Namibia executive JG van Graan congratulated Zwiebel and his DZ Golf team for successfully hosting the fourth round of the series at the new Okahandja course:



“On behalf of Nedbank Namibia, I extend our warmest congratulations to the entire DZ Golf team for flawlessly hosting the fourth round at Okahandja Golf Club.

It’s always a pleasure to see the series venture into new territories. The golfers truly impressed us with their skill and sportsmanship on the course, and their continued commitment to supporting the charitable causes at the heart of this series is commendable.”



Van Graan added: “As money experts who do good, we are incredibly excited about the addition of two more new venues later this season. These venues will undoubtedly bring even more enthusiasm and allow us to extend the positive impact of this wonderful initiative to more communities across Namibia.”



The other new venues scheduled to host the series this year are Outjo and Grootfontein.
