Nyaningwe Supermarkets unveils $15K for RCZ Varume Bhora tourney

The Director of Nyaningwe Supermarkets, Setfree Mapuvire made a surprise gift to the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) soccer lovers when he dedicated US$15 000 towards this year’s tournament which was held in Gokwe recently.

Tournament organiser David Masomere said he was amazed by the commitment shown by the Mapuvire family towards the growth of sport and uniting people in the church through soccer.

“The technical department and everybody else are amazed by this act of generosity from the Mapuvire family. Over the years, the family has been consistent in its support for evangelism through sport and it seems there is always something for us from them,” said Masomere. 

Masomere revealed that the latest gesture brings Mapuvire’s total contribution towards the tournament to a whopping US$60 000.

“In these economically challenging times when bigger national tournaments are facing problems, you are at loss of words when somebody displays such kind of goodwill,” added Masomere.

He said his team is now geared for the Gungano Guru knock out tournament to be held at different venues on May 21 and 22.

“The knock out round has 24 teams that will battle it out in the finals to be held in Masvingo. The draw is set for 8 May in Seke.

“In the finals, the church decided to include students from Henry Murray School of the Deaf and Capota School of the Blind to participate as curtain raisers.

“Our aim is to promote inclusivity in the country by demonstrating that disability is not inability,” Masomere said.sport
