Masvingo’s Tapiwa Musaona made the province proud after finishing second in the prestigious Carling Black Label Pool Finals held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) grounds in Bulawayo recently.
Musaona’s impressive performance earned him a US$1,500 cash prize, while Harare Province’s Timothy Onida took home the championship title, pocketing US$2,500 and a pool table.
The tournament, which drew 148 talented participants (74 men, 74 women) from across the country, was a celebration of skill, dedication, and passion for the game.
In the men’s competition, Ronald Mutikani of Harare secured third place with a US$1,000 prize, while Midlands’ Andile Ndlovu finished fourth, taking home US$500.
The women’s competition was dominated by Harare Province, with Alice Chiota claiming the top spot, followed closely by Christine Sengwe and Mitchel Dube. Perpetual Nyamayaro of Mashonaland East rounded out the top four, finishing in fourth place.
Musaona’s achievement is a testament to the growing talent in Masvingo, and his performance will undoubtedly inspire others to pursue their passion for pool.
