Boasting 11 golf courses, great accommodation, and an enviable subtropical climate year-round, the KZN South Coast has rightfully earned its title as ‘The Golf Coast’. This year, from 25 to 28 November, the KZN South Coast will witness the ultimate battle for golfing supremacy at the Lifestyle Developers SA Women’s Masters 2025, supported by South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise.
The nation’s most elite lady professionals descend upon two championship venues – Southbroom Golf Estate and San Lameer Golf Estate – for a four-day spectacular that promises to redefine women’s professional golf in Southern Africa. This not only boosts local tourism but also unlocks significant investment potential for the region.
“We are incredibly proud, as South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise [SCTIE], to welcome one of the most prestigious women’s professional golf tournaments on the KZN South Coast,” said Dr Vusumuzi Sibiya, CEO of SCTIE.
“Events such as these continue to position the region as a top MICE [Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events] destination while fulfilling our dual mandate of promoting the diverse tourism offerings and unique investment opportunities found here. Through the Lifestyle Developers SA Women’s Masters 2025, we’re excited to unlock more growth on the KZN South Coast.”
Visionary Leadership Driving Transformation
The SA Women’s Masters carries the weight of history – established and sanctioned by the Women’s PGA of South Africa in 1996, it stands as the second-oldest women’s professional golf tournament in Southern Africa. This year’s championship returns to ‘The Home of Women’s Golf’ on the KZN South Coast, where champions have been crowned and careers have been forged.
Jenny Havenga, owner of Lifestyle Developers and Lifestyle Golf, brings both championship credentials as a former provincial golfer and business acumen as a leading Property Developer to this transformative event. Her company’s recent deal with SCTIE positions the South Coast as a prime international destination through integrated golfing and property platforms.
“We are committed to hosting this annual tournament in this beautiful part of the world,” Havenga explained. “The all-year-round subtropical climate, the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in KZN, great golf courses, and unmatched natural beauty make it the ultimate destination for visitors, sports enthusiasts, and homebuyers! We’re looking forward to another spectacular event, and encourage people to book early!”

Unlock More Growth in KZN South Coast!
The KZN South Coast continues to position itself as a prime destination for investors across a diverse range of sectors. There are agriculture value-add opportunities that enhance local production and export potential, as well as key manufacturing areas including agri-processing, textile production, and building materials, supported by strategic positioning and infrastructure.
The region also presents untapped potential in mining and beneficiation, while the maritime and oceans economy offers avenues in tourism, boat-building, and coastal logistics.
In the logistics sector, the area is ripe for investment, with Margate Airport offering potential for storage, cargo handling, and warehousing solutions. This is supported by the region’s inclusion in the Eastern Seaboard Development, which further strengthens the investment case for the region. At the centre is the Port Shepstone commercial and business hub, making the KZN South Coast not only a tourism gem but a thriving economic ecosystem.
Green investors will find a welcoming landscape in renewable energy and the green economy, with solar and wind potential that aligns with sustainability goals. The hinterland tourism sector, anchored by attractions like KwaXolo Caves Adventures and Umzumbe River Trails, continues to expand to include other cultural and nature-based experiences.
The property sector is well-established with quality developments including Renishaw Coastal Precinct, Serenity Hills, and Umdoni Point Coastal Lifestyle Village signing a ground-breaking MoU with SCTIE. Other examples include Bahari Bay, Injabulo Lifestyle Estate, and Ekubo Coastal Estate.
