Nairobi Star (Nairobi) Reuben Olita 30 May 2011 TESO North DC Josephine Onunga has lashed out at women in the area for being 'their own worst enemies.' The DC said most mothers make their daughters do lost of house chores at the expense of school work. "The drop out rate of girls in Teso is alarming. Parents, teachers and all stakeholders need to turnaround this trend and bring gender parity in learning institutions instead of favouring only boys," she said

Jinja — After lifting the Eskom Source of Nile Open trophy almost a fortnight ago, Fred Wanzala is looking to keep in tiptop form as he seeks silverware abroad.

Wanzala received a one-year sponsorship offer from Eskom Uganda and it is on that basis that he will invade Bujumbura later today for the Burundi Open, set for June 1-4, a strong man. “I showed a lot of consistency and putted well during the Eskom tourney. I feel I am ready to take on the region’s elite,” said the 21-year-old national team star.

Wanzala will be the nation’s amateur flag bearer in the four-day 72-hole tournament that attracts golfers from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. “I have been there (Burundi) twice and I know the conditions well,” said Wanzala before highlighting the importance of the timely sponsorship from Eskom. “With such good sponsorship, I have nothing to worry about. I am targeting a top three finish and enlighten my chances of going pro.”

When he returns from Burundi, Wanzala will also line up among other amateurs in the Professionals Qualifier scheduled for next week at the par-72 Uganda Golf Club (UGC) Kitante course.
