GWERU- Sakhile Ndiweni and Yolanda Mubaiwa won the men’s and women’s categories at the Bata Shoe Company golf tournament.
The tournament was held at Gweru Golf Club and raised money for disadvantaged children at SOS Children’s Homes.
Bata country manager Simon Mutisya said the tournament and other support initiatives are part of the shoe giant’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
“In September, we celebrate Founder’s Day across the globe with a focus on one of Bata’s core values, improving the lives of the less privileged.
“We have partnered with SOS Children’s Home through our flagship CSR project, the Bata Children’s Program. For every shoe purchased this month, Bata Zimbabwe will donate part of the revenue to SOS Children’s Villages in the country. This shall be the first phase of our mentoring program, while the second phase will initiate a mentoring program which shall mentor young people to be good citizens of the world,” he said.
