MBABANE - Seasoned golfer, Albert Mavuso, has claimed victory in the latest edition of the ESRIC Monthly Mug tournament. The competition, sponsored by the Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC), delivered a host of excellent performances, but was Mavuso who emerged as the winner. He secured the title with an unmatched net score of 71 at the Mbabane Golf Club this past Saturday.
According to the results provided by the organisers, Ricky Saulus made his mark by securing the gross winner prize with a solid score of 77. Close behind Mavuso in the net standings, Sive Dlamini finished second, ahead of Thabiso Gama, Sifiso Mashwama, and Pantaleo Bashasha, all of whom tied with a score of 73. Valentine Maziya also impressed onlookers with a flawless drive during his round. The Mbabane Golf Club's focus was not solely on the course this weekend. Just a day earlier, on Friday, October 3, 2024, the club held a successful elective annual general meeting (AGM).
The leadership team largely retained their positions. "Captain Gideon Mhlongo retained his captaincy role. Chazile Nombuso Dlamini retained her club Secretary role," the club confirmed. Meanwhile, Bhokolwensizwa Chonco was elected as the Vice Captain. Mthokozisi Ntshingila also received a vote of confidence from the club members and remains a member of the executive committee. "The work of the committee has begun. Their first task is to fill the vacant spots in the committee," the club shared.
