“We are overwhelmed with the maximum number of participants. Most of the golfers, apart from the people of Blantyre, travelled all the way from Lilongwe, and this just shows the level of commitment to the tournament and Airtel as well. We look forward to the next tournaments to be held this year.
“This one was just one of the six tournaments we have lined up this year. Golf is just one of those platforms where business captains can also share ideas and see how to move forward, “said Mijiga.
