The competition will be played on stroke format with three divisions such that the first three winners from each division will be awarded trophies.

“I am looking forward to this championship as CDHIB will bring fun and excitement,” said Colin Sibande, one of the participants.

Esau said they want customers to open a Prime Investor Account and maintain a minimum balance of K 1 million to stand a chance of winning K1 million as a first grand prize.
