The tournament is not to be confused with the Nelson Mandela Championship, a European Tour and Sunshine Tour co-sanctioned event held in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in 2012 and 2013.[1]
History
The inaugural tournament in 2023 was won by South African Dylan Mostert after he birdied the final hole to seal a one-stroke victory over compatriot Jaco Prinsloo.[2]
The event returned as a co-sanctioned Sunshine Tour and Challenge Tour event in 2024; being retitled as the NMB Championship. The tournament was won by Björn Åkesson, after being shortened to 54 holes due to strong winds.[3]
