Inkosi Ya Makhosi M’mbelwa V has teed off the fundraising golf tournament organised by the Mzimba Heritage Association (MHA) at the Lilongwe Golf Club.
The association has organized the tournament to raise funds for this year’s Umthetho Cultural Festival, which will be held at Hora Mountain in Mzimba on 3 August.
One of the organisers, Vizenge Kumwenda, said 60 golfers are playing in the tournament.
“Our target was K5 million, but the sponsors have been very supportive. We are expecting 60 golfers representing 15 teams, with each team contributing around K300,000,” said Kumwenda.
“We expect to raise around K9 million, which is very good. It could be more.”
The theme for this year’s festival is ‘Uniting Against Climate Change Under the Decade of His Majesty M’mbelwa V’.
