TZ urged to seek sponsorship

TENNIS Zimbabwe (TZ)’s demand for parents to fund their children’s participation at regional and international competitions has irked some parents who have implored the organisation to seek sponsorship.

This follows an e-mail sent to one of the country’s upcoming tennis stars’ father, Kenneth Kwirirai, early this month advising him to fork out close to $800 for his son Anesu to travel to Namibia for the ITF/CAT Southern Africa Junior Championships to be held from January 8 to 17.

The tournament starts two days before schools open.
