Peter Mtema from Blantyre and lady course partner, Chanje, took the day last Saturday 21 June in the World Vision charity golf tournament at the 18-hole Lilongwe Golf Club.
Chanje said it was exciting to win and that her and partner both made two pars on two holes and on another they both made pars.
LGC golf captain Justin Mkandawire said it was possible to eliminate illiteracy and poverty amongst the less fortunate as along as the public put its resources together. World Vision board member Evelyn Itimu was all smiles at the prospects of what the raised MK1 million would do.
"World Vision can firmly testify that your help will fill big service gaps in the rural community and will ensure this assistance is put to imtemded use," she told the 76 golfers plus spectators at a prize giving presentation. The money would assist Community Based Orphaned Child Care Centres within Nkhoma area in Lilongwe. Areas targeted are food security and education in orphaned child care centres.
Over MK763,000 was raised from participating teams from banners and green fees while the rest came in through auctions.
The golfers bid for air tickets, complimentary hotel accommodation and golf balls.
Runners up were J.J. Kadzenje and Gabriel Kambalame whilst on third position were Clement Chilingulo and T. Mahendra. Tourney sponsors included freight forwarding company DHL, Air Zimbabwe and Crossroads Hotel.
