Driven: Zee Tees Off

A bold story of ambition, courage and the nerve it takes to step up and take your shot.

Some futures are given. Zee will have to play for hers.

Cape Town, 2003. Fifteen-year-old Ziyanda “Zee” Mkentane has her father’s golf swing, her mother’s stubbornness and a talent far larger than the strip of salvaged carpet where she learned to play. When Esihle dies, Zee inherits an unfinished notebook — and a promise to keep playing.

As she rises from the townships towards Fancourt, and perhaps beyond, every advance tests the people who raised her and the loyalties she carries with her. Talent opens doors. Courage is what carries you through them.
