THE first Mutupo-Isibongo golf tournament of the year is set to take place on February 17 at Royal Harare Golf Club.

The upcoming event will be the second edition of the exciting tournament.

It is inspired by culture, pride, identity and sport as it features different totems from all over the country.

The defending champions of the tournament are the Hungwe golfers who proved strong for over 10 totems represented in the previous edition.

The totems present last year are Soko, Moyo, Mhofu, Shumba, Nzou, Shiri, Hwesa, Mbizi, Beta, Gwai, Gumbo, Gushungo, Nhewa, Mbeva, Chihwa, Dziva, Ngara and Humba.
