Vodacom, in partnership with Nedbank Mozambique and Beira Golf Club, held on 29 October, the third edition of the golf tournament called Vodacom Open, in the city of Beira, Sofala province, as a way to promote and encourage national sport.
A total of 50 competitors competed in the tournament in doubles, in male and female categories, which included the Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, Carlos Mesquita, and the president of Beira Golf Club, Félix Machado, who participated in the event as players.
The highlight of this competition was the delivery of prizes to the winners of the tournament, who received the awards from the hands of the general manager of Vodacom, Simon Karikari, and the CEO of Nedbank Mozambique, Joel Rodrigues. In the male category, the winning pairs were Haris & Odilon, Félix Machado & Vitos Ferreira, Gonçalo & Justin, Jeque & Manuel and Custodio & Tingane. In the women’s category, the prizes went to Tani & Lueji and Catia & Margarida.
“By supporting the Golf Club of Beira City, we believe that we are contributing to the promotion of sports in Mozambique and the massification of golf in particular, since this sport is still little explored in our country. Thus, we reinforce our commitment to this sporting event since its first edition and guarantee a quality tournament for athletes and the public present,” said the general manager of Vodacom, Simon Karikari.
On his turn, Joel Rodrigues, CEO of Nedbank Mozambique, said that the bank he presides “was born with ambition and commitment to make a difference in the market and in the country, contributing in a relevant way to add value to the lives of all our stakeholders. This partnership shows our strong commitment to golf, a very versatile sport for different generations and without concern for age or physical condition. With this tournament, we intend to provide a healthy way to do physical activity and, at the same time, have fun. Walking around the course outdoors provides health benefits, including exercise for the mind and body”. Note that in addition to golf, Vodacom supports the seven national soccer teams
