Malawi: MP Kaweche's K2 Million Cash Injection Fuels Mzuzu City Pool Cup

[Nyasa Times] The Northern Region Pool Association (NRPA) says it is hugely grateful for a K2 million sponsorship boost powering the Mzuzu City Pool Cup, with the tournament now into its third week of action since getting underway on August 8.

The Northern Region Pool Association (NRPA) has expressed its gratitude towards Mzuzu City South East MP William Chikweta Kaweche for a K2 million sponsorship of the Mzuzu City Pool Cup. The tournament, which began on August 8, is now in its third week, with twelve clubs from across Mzuzu currently competing. This isn't the first time Kaweche has supported the NRPA, as he also sponsored a region-wide league last year.

NRPA vice chairperson John Yazenga Mkandawire emphasized the significance of this sponsorship, noting that many pool clubs often struggle to attract funding. Njonjo Pool Club general secretary Charles Malisau echoed the sentiment, expressing relief that clubs have been able to resume competitive action after months of inactivity.

The three-month tournament offers a K1 million prize for the champions, with K600,000 for the runners-up, K300,000 for third place, and K100,000 for fourth.
