Meneja Mwandamizi wa Kanda ya Rwanda, Alice Katiti, na Meneja wa Nchi Ada Magezi walikuwa tayari kutoa zawadi kwa wachezaji wa gofu walioshinda mwishoni mwa wiki, wakati RwandAir, shirika la ndege lililopitishwa Uganda - sasa linasafiri mara mbili kila siku kutoka Entebbe hadi Nairobi na kurudi na kila siku kutoka Entebbe hadi. Juba na nyuma - ilifadhili muundo wa kipekee wa mashindano ya gofu.
Ikitolewa kabla ya mechi ya kwanza idadi mahususi ya mipigo, mchezaji huibuka mshindi ambaye anapata nafasi ya juu zaidi kwenye kozi ndani ya kikomo hicho kilichowekwa, bila shaka akizingatia ulemavu wa washindani.
Washindi wawili katika wanawake - Doreen Kirabu - na wanaume - Ji Song Linch - kategoria walishinda tikiti kutoka Entebbe hadi Kigali na nafasi ya Mashindano ya Wazi ya Rwanda mwezi ujao katika Klabu ya Gofu ya Kigali.
RwandAir, ambayo iliingia katika pengo lililotokana na kuondoka kwa Air Uganda chini ya haki ya tano ya uhuru, inapanga kuongeza masafa ya tatu ya Nairobi baadaye mwakani na kwa mazungumzo ya zabibu huenda safari ya pili ya kila siku ya ndege kwenda Juba pia kuwa kwenye kadi. Baadaye, shirika la ndege pia limeingia katika utupu baada ya ufadhili wa michezo na shughuli zingine za Uwajibikaji kwa Jamii kwa Jamii na inaeleweka kuwa mashindano haya ya kipekee ya gofu yatakuwa tukio la kila mwaka kuanzia hapa na kuendelea.
Wacheza gofu wa Uganda wanaosafiri kwa ndege na RwandAir kutoka Entebbe hadi Nairobi au kupitia Kigali hadi Mombasa wanaweza pia kuinua mikoba yao ya gofu bila malipo zaidi na zaidi ya posho yao ya kawaida ya mizigo na hivyo kuweza kucheza baadhi ya kozi zinazopendwa na Kenya katika mji mkuu au pwani ya Kenya.
NINI CHA KUONDOA KATIKA MAKALA HII:
- Rwanda's Senior Regional Manager, Alice Katiti, and Country Manager Ada Magezi were at hand to award the prizes to the winning golfers over the weekend, when RwandAir, Uganda's adopted airline – now flying double daily from Entebbe to Nairobi and back and daily from Entebbe to Juba and back – sponsored a unique golf tournament format.
- RwandAir, which stepped into the void created by the exit of Air Uganda under fifth freedom right, plans to add a third frequency to Nairobi later in the year and going by grapevine talk may a second daily flight to Juba also be on the cards.
- Ugandan golfers flying with RwandAir from Entebbe to Nairobi or via Kigali to Mombasa can also have their golfbag uplifted for free over and above their regular baggage allowance and are thus able to play some of Kenya's fancied courses in the capital or at the Kenya coast.
