By A Correspondent- Veteran Zimbabwe golf administrator and Alpha Media Holdings golf columnist Tavenganiswa Mabikacheche, who was best known for his tireless efforts to spread the game of golf to marginalised communities around the country, has died. He was 68.
Mabikacheche, who previously served as the Zimbabwe Golf Association (ZGA) president and president of the Manicaland Golf Union, passed away in the early hours of yesterday morning, to become the latest local sports personality to succumb to the deadly coronavirus.
An accomplished golf referee, administrator and development coach, Mabikacheche was also well known for his informative articles about the sport of golf during his time as a columnist for NewsDay and its sister paper The Standard a few years ago.
However, it is due to his work in golf development that he is best remembered for as he played a pivotal role in trying to spread golf around the country, a sport which has always been considered elite, to the masses.-newsday
