THE Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services’ Commissioner General’s goodwill trust fund will host their annual golf tournament at the Police Golf Club tomorrow.

Elizabeth Banda, the ZPCS Public Relations Officer, said the tournament will be four-ball stable-ford with charges of $160 and $40 per team and individual participants respectively.

The Commissioner-General’s Goodwill Trust Fund was established in 2011 and its main objectives are to provide assistance in cash or in kind to the vulnerable groups which include prison officers’ widows, orphans and inmates.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Golf Association will send a team to represent the country at this year’s Africa Amateur Golf Team Championship (AAGTC) set for Limuru Country Club in Nairobi, Kenya, next week.

The prestigious Africa Amateur Golf Team Championship will be held for the first time in the East African country from October 12-16.

For this tournament, the ZGA has named seasoned campaigners Visitor Mapwanya, David Amm, Robson Chinhoi and Tonderai Masunga who replaced Kiren Vincent who is committed to his school examinations.

The players to represent the country are in the top ten of the order of merit standings.

The tournament will see more than 16 African countries taking part in the continental tournament that was previously hosted by South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, Namibia and Egypt.

When the AAGTC was held in Swaziland last year, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Mauritius, Reunion Island, Uganda and Namibia were represented.
