Golfers plan to make it bright for birthday boy, Grey Zulu
By Sports Reporter
THE Lusaka golfing fraternity will next Thursday hold a golf tournament in honour of former UNIP party secretary general in the Second Republic, Grey Zulu, who turns 80 on September 3.
Tournament convener, Adrian Chundama, said the tournament would be held on the eve of Zulu’s birthday at the Lusaka Golf Club and is expected to attract a field of about 130.
Chundama said the individual stableford tournament would be an open event and invited players from Chainama, Chilanga and the Copperbelt.
“We the golfing fraternity and the friends of Grey Zulu would like to hold this tournament in honour of him, particularly for his contribution to golf and the Lusaka Golf Club where he was a regular member,” Chundama said.
The tournament convener said Zulu would grace the prize-giving ceremony in the evening after the tournament which is scheduled to start at 11:00 hours on Thursday morning.
“This is an open tournament and we would like to invite those golfers who played with him, especially the State House team like Abslom Mazaba, Sketchley Sachika, Patrick Chisanga and many others to come and celebrate this day with him,” Chundama said.
Chundama said participation fee in the tournament had been pegged at K130,000 and part of it would go towards purchasing attractive prizes.
