SOUTHERN LADIES REIGN SUPREME!
Despite its attempt, of late, to compete with courses in the Sahara
desert, Maz Golf Club bristled with life and activity on September
18 when lady golfers from around Zambia descended on the club for
the annually contested North vs South competition, sponsored by
Zambia Sugar. Thanks to golfing regulars, Chris Mpweto, Rabia Mundia,
Margaret Masupha, Rita Namweene and other local ladies, and their
Lusaka partners, the Southern Region ladies came out on top with a
stunning 34 over 14 point victory! Lusaka's teenage champ, Melissa
Nawa helped to boost the points for the Southern ladies. It's
great to see young girls taking up golf, and Melissa and sixteen
year old International Champ, Michelle Wie, are good role models for
the female teenage set there are more than enough for the males.
BARLOWORLD
SPONSORED SEASONALS SPORTS DAY
During cane harvest, Zambia Sugar employs hundreds of seasonal
workers, both men and women, to help out with irrigation, planting
and general maintenance around the estate. This year, when they
weren't working, cultivation seasonal workers were busy practising
football, netball, singing, running and tug-o-war for their
sponsored day on October 2. A Barloworld team came down to Zambia
Sugar's Nakambala stadium from Lusaka to watch the day's events and
they also took part in the tug-o-war (a tie) and soccer (a walkover
from Zambia Sugar's side of “old men”). Barloworld's Human
Resources Manager, Maud Malambo who was Guest of Honour on the day,
took the opportunity during her visit to present local charity,
Ndekeleni Development Foundation, a centre of hope for widows and
orphans in the community, with a cheque to go towards building their
own self help centre and workshop at Ndeke Township in Mazabuka.
