Malawian amateur golfer Texon Banda yesterday won the amateur category of the Seed-Co Lilongwe closed golf championship.
The tournament took place at Lilongwe golf club starting from 17 up to 19 September, 2021 and it was organised by Seed-Co Malawi Limited.
Banda won the competition with 158 gross and he received a trophy and double 25 kgs weights (dumbells) as the first prizes of the tournament.
Speaking after the tournament Banda said he was very happy after winning the tournament and that he wasn’t surprised because he had so much confidence that helped him to win.
“I thank God for everything he has done for me, winning this tournament is very special to me and am very proud of myself. I thank my friends who supported me, their support is very important and lastly I also thank Seed-Co for organizing this golf tournament. This is great as far as golf tournament is concerned and they should continue supporting golf here in Malawi,” said Banda.
In his remarks Seed-co Malawi Limited Commercial Director Gift Kawamba said they organised the tournament to interact with stakeholders, customers as well as farmers.
“As per our calendar, most of the times just before rainy season we organise these tournaments, the main reason is just for us to interact with stakeholders, our customers, our farmers and people that we deal with in the course of business. The reason is for us to give them ideas as of what to expect from us as a company when we get to rainy season, so that’s the main reason we organised this tournament,” he said.
Kawamba added: “The biggest expectation is that we have a lot of adjustment, a lot of areas especially with our stakeholders, because there are so many things that are happening as far as agriculture sector is concerned, so the idea is that we speak to our stakeholders and most of the time we invite several people that we are targeting so that we have a chat with them.”
