The Mutupo Isibingo Golf Tournament is gearing up for another exciting season, with a focus on promoting cultural heritage and golf development in Zimbabwe.
Traditional Partners Lake Harvest, Proton and Surrey Group will sponsor the event yet again this year.
The 2025 edition of the Mutupo Isibongo golf series was officially launched at Royal Harare Golf Club last Friday with the sponsors Proton, Surrey and Lake Harvest Mutupo pledging their support.

“Mutupo Isibingo has held us together as people and has strong bonding foundations cutting across generations and tribes. The use of the sport of golf is to promote a culture, is indeed a masterstroke as means of engagement, networking and establishing lasting relationships,” Ranwa Golf Management director Ephraim Mashingaidze said.
“The brand also helps to promote sports tourism as golfers travel to play the tournament in other provinces, thereby contributing to domestic local tourism.
“Our gratitude goes to the brand partners Surrey Group, Proton, and Lake Harvest. Our partners have been interacting with most golfers in Zimbabwe and the feedback, brand visibility and product promotion has been very positive through the Mutupo Isibingo Golf Brand.
