The inaugural ZIMRA Charity Trust Corporate Golf Day drew 176 golfers and strong corporate support to Wingate Park Golf Club in Harare on Thursday, 12 November 2026. Held as part of ZIMRA’s Charity Trust fund rasing initiatives, the tournament brought businesses, donors and golfers together to support the Trust’s charitable work across Zimbabwe.

Speaking at the prize-giving, ZIMRA Commissioner General, Ms Regina Chinamasa, said the Trust plans to expand its scholarship fund to reach more students, including those who lost parents in the Kariba ferry disaster. She said the Trust also wants to support students with talent in music, art and sport and will continue assisting children’s homes and homes for older persons across the country.

“Today’s Golf Day helps strengthen the partnerships that make this work possible. Every team that took part and every sponsor and donor who contributed has helped advance that purpose. We are grateful for your generosity,” Chinamasa said.

In his closing remarks, ZIMRA Charity Trust Board Treasurer, Dr Tapiwa Manyika, linked the contributions to the Silver Jubilee theme, “Revenue to Relief: 25 Years of Giving Back.” “Every entry, sponsorship and donation helps the Charity Trust continue its work with communities facing difficult circumstances,” Manyika said. “We hope to make this Golf Day an annual event and look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.”

On the course, J Mabhena won the inaugural title with 43 Stableford points, two clear of M Mahumucha on 41. L Paganga edged N Chayambuka for third place on countback after both finished on 40 points, while T Majo rounded out the top five with 39. Just seven points separated first and 20th place.

The prize pool included household appliances. All five leading finishers received InnBucks cards, and Mabhena also took home a prize from Nyaradzo Group.

Tournament organising committee member Mrs Gamuchirayi Masendu praised the turnout and the standard of play. “Mabhena’s 43 points was a superb round and she was a thoroughly deserving champion, but the biggest winner today is the ZIMRA Charity Trust,” Masendu said.

Nyaradzo Group and InnBucks led the corporate backing as platinum sponsors. EcoCash was the gold sponsor, and Mutapa Investment Fund were silver sponsors, and Old Mutual was the bronze sponsor.
