“We are having our national tournament and it is going to be a big event because eight provinces have already confirmed participation.
“We expect to have top players like David Nyemba in the competition,” he said.
Nkomo said 133 men and 57 women were set to feature in the competition.
The women start the competition playing round one, two and three before they take a break for the Presidential Open Singles.
