MBABANE – It was a police day indeed.
This is after two members of the Royal Eswatini Police Service (REPS) emerged
winners in the Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC) Monthly Mug. Sandile
Chonco was the net winner, carding an impressive score of 69 to beat a field of
60 golfers. Siboniso Simelane, who is also a police officer won in the gross
category after scoring 72. Interesting, is that the previous edition was
dominated by the Mhlanga brothers. Thirteen-year-old Sinethemba Mhlanga was the
winner while his brother was runner-up. However, the former was not playing this
weekend as he was reported to be absent due to that he was focusing on his
schoolwork.
Played
The monthly tournament was played at Mbabane Golf Course on Saturday.
Sought for comment, Chonco said he was happy to win the tournament again.
“This is my fourth time winning the tournament. I won it twice in 2015 and
once in 2017. This motivates me to keep playing the sport,” Chonco said.
Shining in the novelties was Phil Mnisi after winning the nearest pin 9/18 while
Valentine Maziya took home the award for nearest pin 7/16 with Sifiso Vilane
also taking home the nearest pin 8/17 award. Siboniso Simelane also shined in
this category as he won the nearest pin 2/11. Shining in the ladies category was
