While golfing at San Lameer, Graeme Campbell, FD for local supervisory control and data acquisition developers, Adroit Technologies, discovered up-and-coming golf prospect Mzwandile 'Richard' Sikobi.

Sikobi and manager Themba Mazibuko met with Campbell and Adroit's MD, Dave Wibberley while Sikobi was in Johannesburg for a PGA qualifier to cement the sponsorship arrangement.

Adroit's corporate social responsibility programme actively focuses on championing talented sportsmen and women from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as subsidising its scada product for use in tertiary education development initiatives and community-based projects.
