The 2011 MTN SuperSport Shootout, hosted at Simola Golf & Country Estate in Knysna on 13th to 15th May, lived up to the spectacular expectations it created. MTN, together with SuperSport, relished the opportunity to have hosted an invitational field of top government officials, high profile corporate executives and legendary South African sportsmen competing alongside each other.

MTN would like to congratulate Breyton Paulse, the overall winner of this year’s tournament. Breyton proved that not only is he one of South Africa’s great former rugby players, but has also mastered the game of golf. Together with his playing partner, Riyadh Peer, Breyton also clinched honours for the Betterball Stableford prize.

As part of MTN’s legacy of socially uplifting the communities where we do business, both winners were given an MTN InternetOnTV package to donate to a charity of their choice. InternetOnTV allows communities to have access to affordable internet access at home. The unit comes with a handset and keyboard. The charity will be able to connect the handset and the keyboard to their regular television set, no matter the model, and they have a computer that they can use. MTN trusts that all participants had an AYOBA experience at Simola, and looks forward to another exciting edition of the MTN SuperSport Shootout in 2012.
