When we started with the fundraising in 2007, I remember when we invited the then minister of youth and sport, John Mutorwa, and the current deputy prime minister for the fundraising, which was initiated by Eenhana town council. It was organised specifically to raise funds to facilitate and accelerate the development of a modern sports facility in Eenhana to serve the region. It is not yet completed," he said.
