COPS SNATCH ESRIC MONTHLY MUG

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.
