Serwano Walusimbi, the Captain Entebbe Golf Club welcomed DStv for Business’s contribution as one that is in the spirit of this year’s Challenge format.

“This partnership with speaks to the match-play format of this challenge. Many people associate Golf with being a one-player sport which is far from the match-play format that we have adopted.
