AFTER partnering with Africa Bet for this year’s Champion of Champions set for today at Athenaeum Hall in Harare, Zimbabwe Karate Union are convinced it will be a tournament with a difference.The annual event is the last on the karate calendar and is used for selection of the national teams for both semi-contact and full contact styles to represent the country in regional, continental and international events.
For the past years it has been running without sponsors but this year’s event got a timely boost when ZKU received a $10 000 sponsorship from Africa Bet early this month.
ZKU technical director full contact Kumbirai Musinami feels they are in for a good outing today. “For the first time we will be under one roof. This year’s tournament is bigger.
“Last year and the year before we did not have a sponsor but now we have got Africa Bet sponsoring and it’s quite exciting.”
