NBS Bank Plc has lived by its promise to continue to sponsor the Malawi Defence Force (MDF) War Veterans Thanksgiving golf tournament by being the headline sponsor for the fourth year in a row<\/p>\n
The Bank, through its Chief Executive Officer Kwanele Ngwenya, made a promise last year that it will \u2018forever\u2019 support the golf tournament as long as the Bank exists in the country.<\/p>\n
This year, NBS Bank is the headline sponsor for the War Veterans Thanksgiving Golf tournament slated for Saturday, November 4, 2023, at Lilongwe Golf Club where President Lazarus Chakwera is expected to tee off to start the tournament.<\/p>\n
NBS Bank Head of Marketing and Customer Experience, Tamanda Ng\u2019ombe said as a \u2018Caring Bank\u2019, they felt the need to commit more to the cause, especially after noting that this year the golf tournament is aimed at raising funds to refurbish the memorial homes for veterans in Zomba.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the Caring Bank, we are playing our part in caring for our veterans by being patriotic and ensuring that our veterans have secure and safe housing. This is the fourth time NBS Bank is the anchor sponsor and we plan on doing the same every year,\u201d said Ng\u2019ombe.<\/p>\n
Last year, the Bank pumped MK10 million towards Veterans and Ex-Service League of Malawi, VELOM, and K20 million towards the tournament making them the anchor sponsor of the tournament. The Bank also committed to offering financial solutions to MDF retirees.<\/p>\n
MDF spokesperson, Major Emmanuel Mlelemba commended NBS Bank for their support towards war veterans and also indicated that all is set for the tournament which targets to raise K100 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very prepared. We wrote to various individuals and companies for sponsorship and we got a positive response. So far, we have 70 golfers and 35 teams that have registered and confirmed their participation. This year we plan to renovate the war veterans\u2019 houses in Zomba which requires a lot of money,\u201d said Mlelemba in an interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
