Albert de Klerk and Jaryd Matthews booked their tickets to Sun City after winning the King Price International Pairs final over the weekend.
The event, which was sponsored by King Price and ABInBev, saw a total of 30 teams throughout Namibia in action over two days at the Windhoek Golf Club and the Omeya Golf Club.
De Klerk and Matthews won the final with a total of 84 points to beat Pieter Conradie and Anton Smit by one point to the post.
Antonio Gamito and Hendrik du Toit also finished on 83 points, but lost on a count-out to Conradie and Smit to finish third overall.
Melt van Schoor and Marco Vollgraaff finished fourth on 82 points, while three pairs finished fifth on 80 points, namely Elias Mulombwelwa and Monty Rukoro, Alvine Samuel and Likius Nande, and Bertus Venter and Thomas Wolff.
De Klerk and Matthews will now compete at the World Finals in Sun City later this year against the winners of about 30 other competing countries.
“All golf clubs extend their heartfelt appreciation to our sponsors King Price and ABInBev for their continued commitment and support towards the growth of golf in Namibia,” the organisers said in a press release.
