Both tournaments will be held at Hillside Golf Club, Mutare.
In a statement, Mutare City Council said the tournament seeks to raise funds for Zororai Old People’s Home and to provide educational assistance to vulnerable children in the community.

Meanwhile, ZPCS Manicaland, in a separate statement, invited organisations to partner as sponsors for the Commissioner General’s Goodwill Trust Fundraising Golf Tournament.
“The ZPCS – Manicaland Province cordially invites your esteemed organisation to partner with us as a sponsor for the Commissioner General’s Goodwill Trust Fundraising Golf Tournament, scheduled for Saturday, 25 July 2026, at Hillside Golf Club, Mutare.
“Riding on the theme: ‘Swing for Hope towards a Brighter Future’, this tournament offers a unique platform to advance a noble cause while benefiting from premium brand exposure and alignment with the prestige, discipline, and networking opportunities synonymous with the sport of golf.
“Our goal is to raise US$30 000 for the Commissioner General’s Goodwill Trust Fund. Proceeds will directly support orphans and widows under the care of ZPCS through school fees and educational support, food hampers and nutrition, medical supplies, healthcare and general welfare amenities.
“Beyond financial sponsorship, we would greatly appreciate contributions of vouchers, products, or prizes to award tournament winners and participants. By supporting this tournament, your organisation champions philanthropy and community upliftment while engaging with a diverse network of business leaders, Government officials, and stakeholders from across Manicaland and beyond.
“It is an opportunity to demonstrate corporate social responsibility and build valuable relationships in a setting defined by integrity and goodwill.
“We will be honoured to discuss sponsorship opportunities further and tailor a package that aligns with your corporate objectives. The detailed sponsorship packages are attached for your consideration. It is hoped that your organisation will consider supporting this impactful initiative.
