Other companies coming on board included Eswatini MTN, Eswatini Electricity Company, Eswatini Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (EPTC), Nedbank and Eswatini Mobile.
According to a prize breakdown posted at the host venue, the champion will pocket a whopping E158 500 while the runner-up will get E115 000. Prizes are for the top 40 professionals and ties.

The prominent tournament, which has attracted both amateurs and professionals from across the globe, started on Monday. It will reach climax with the crowning of the champion today. There will be a gala dinner this evening. The professionals started playing on Thursday. Leading the pack after round two yesterday was visiting South Africa’s Jaco Ahlers on 13-under-par 131. Yesterday he fired an impressive 65.
