The Softball Extravaganza coordinator, Daniel Mahupela said this year’s tournament was possible as the extravaganza has its own account hence the money that was left from last year has been used to fill the gap left by the departing sponsors.

Mahupela said with the demise of BCL Mine, a lot of companies have experienced serious economic challenges with their income hitting an all time low. He, however, said although a lot of sponsors were lost some like Komatsu, Bridgestone, Puma Energy, Investec, Stanbic and Boitekanelo remained.
