The tournament was sponsored by Zimplats and held in Kwekwe.
Speaking at the event, Zimplats representative Stanley Segula said the company had faced scepticism over the decision to bring the competition to Kwekwe but remained committed to supporting activities in the city.
“There was a time, a month ago, when there was nothing to talk about in Kwekwe. Kwekwe was looked down upon,” Segula said.
“But we are Zimplats. We believe in making a change.”
The tournament brought together teams from across Zimbabwe’s mining sector, with Mimosa emerging as the overall standout after securing both the championship and runner-up positions with identical scores of 96 points.
