Mopani Donates KR10,000 to Nkana Ladies Open

Mopani Copper Mines has donated KR10, 000 toward the hosting of next
month’s Nkana Ladies’ Golf Championship in Kitwe.

This championship is the first fixture on the Zambia Ladies Golf Union
2013 calendar and comes after the Nkana Open Golf Tournament which the
club hosted recently.

Mopani Chief Executive Officer and President of the Nkana Golf Club
Danny Callow presented the donation to the Zambia Ladies’ Golf Union
National Vice President Sue McManus on Thursday morning.

In his speech, Callow reaffirmed Mopani’s commitment to supporting the
development of various sporting disciplines in the country saying
sport is key to national development and needed to be given the
attention it deserved.

“I’m very passionate about sports development and I believe that if we
can help channel some of the energy from the youth of today into sport
development, we can be assured of helping to provide a strong platform
towards their future development. For this reason Mopani has invested
over one million dollars to date in developing both traditional and
non-traditional sports.” he said.

And McManus saluted Mopani for sponsoring the golf tournament.

“I would like to thank Mopani for the generous gesture to sponsor the
2013 Nkana Ladies’ Golf Championship that takes place on Sunday 7th
April 2013 at the Nkana Golf Club. This is a huge boost to the
championship which we believe will be a success considering the
massive support we are getting from our partners and the energy among
the lady golfers. The championship will help to prepare the lady
golfers for the huge international schedule that lies ahead of us,”
she said.

Kitwe Mayor Chileshe Bweupe witnessed the donation.
