Diaspora Insurance CEO commends tournament organisers for uniting scattered Zim exiles

By UK Correspondent

UK: ORGANISERS of a weekend golf tournament in Northampton have been commended for bringing Zimbabwean diasporans together, thereby helping keep them connected to their heritage.

The tournament, which drew more than 50 participants and was jointly organised Zambezi Golf Society and Bushwackers, was held the Collingtree Park Gold Club with Diaspora Insurance the flagship sponsor.

“As diasporans, we are a scattered community and in that scattered-ness we lose not just our voice but also our identity,” said Diaspora Insurance CEO Jeff Madzingo.

He said events such as the gold tournament help to keep diasporans connected to their heritage, “we need these kinds of events to bring us together as a people and to give us the necessary identity as a people not just ourselves as first-generation migrants but also our children and their own children.”
