The Swaziland National and Recreation Council (SNSRC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Darius Dlomo said they would like to pass their sincere appreciation to UEDF for bringing up the shooting tournament.

He further stated that shooting is believed to be something done by soldiers, police or thieves, while this tournament will educate the entire nation to be in shooting as a sport.

Dlomo mentioned that it is a skill that will help in educating the mind and body to be focused as shooting needs one to be in full attention when holding a gun.
He also said people need to focus which will help them in taking positive decisions.
