The 2021 event was played at Euphoria in April and was again co-sanctioned with the Challenge Tour with prize money of R3,000,000. It was won in a four-man playoff by Brandon Stone, who made a birdie at the first extra hole. The 2022 event was again co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour, with Mateusz Gradecki winning by three shots ahead of Hennie du Plessis.
In 2023, the event was not part of the Challenge Tour schedule and was a sole-sanctioned Sunshine Tour event. Ryan van Velzen won the title, with the tournament being shortened to 54 holes due to rain. The event returned for the final time in 2024, again as a sole-sanctioned Sunshine Tour event. Deon Germishuys won the title by two shots over Jacques Blaauw.
