AFTER successfully hosting the Pavcon Primary Schools sports festival Harare, businessman Shelton Paza will this morning sponsor another secondary schools sports tournament.
It will be held under his company, Pavcon brand, at Mupereki Primary School in Mamina, Mhondoro.
Paza, the founder and MD of Pavcon Industries, a leading concrete pavement manufacturer, is a product of Mupereki Primary School.
The sports extravaganza will have four schools – Dondoshava, Muchemwa, Gavhinga and Nyika Secondary Schools – battling it out in soccer, netball, football and volleyball.
Pava, said the sports jamboree, is part of their corporate social responsibility programme and they were expecting several scouts and coaches to be at the tourney.
“We have engaged schools in Mamina, Mhondoro, to participate in different sporting disciplines in a bid to support skills nurturing and development.
“Supporting the tournament is part of our company’s community obligation and we also try to give potential athletes in rural areas an opportunity to showcase their talents.
“Sport has changed the lives of many Zimbabweans like Benjani Mwaruwari, Peter Ndlovu, Kirsty Coventry, Derek Chisora, Zvenyika, Marvellous Nakamba, Khama Billiat and Knowledge Musona, among others.
“As a person, who connects strongly with his roots, I believe this is the place where the seeds of Pavcon Industries were sowed and it was only befiting that Mupereki Primary School play hosts to the event,” said Pava.
Former Dynamos player Edward Sadombas is expected at today’s event.
