It is a mixed bag of gratitude and sadness under which I announce to you the official resignation of Kupakwashe Mukurumbira, as General Manager (GM) of Tennis Zimbabwe, effective 18 October 2024.
Kupa, as he was affectionately addressed, spearheaded great changes during his stint as GM, among them being, the resurgent growth in our partnerships with private, and public organizations, implementation of programs in coach education and rejuvenating the junior tennis initiative (JTI) in conjunction with the JTI Coordinator/Technical Director, increase in publicity of tennis programs on various media platforms, improvement in performances and resource mobilisation for our junior and senior tennis teams, plus the rebranding of tennis.
Tennis Zimbabwe is truly grateful to Kupakwashe for the energy, vision and passion that he dedicated to our organization. On my own behalf, and that of the Board, I wish him the absolute best in all his future plans and endeavours.
As we transition this phase please be advised that Mr Linsent Chitiyo who is the Technical and JTI Coordinator will serve as Acting General Manager as the Executive begins the process of permanently filling the position.
