Highlighting Inclusion and Excellence at the African Petrochemicals Executive Golf Day 2026
At the African Petrochemicals and Energy Executive Golf Day, one moment truly stood out and deserves special recognition. Katlego Setwaba, the Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Sales Manager at Pepperl+Fuchs, was the only female participant in an industry event typically dominated by men. This was especially significant as the event was hosted by a company proudly led by women.
Katlego demonstrated remarkable skill and confidence on the course, delivering an outstanding performance. A highlight of the day was when her tee shot was selected as the team’s best ball on a par 3 18th hole, setting the standard for the hole.
