Zanu-PF officials in Matabeleland South characterized the second Vice President Kembo Mohadi Sports Tournament as instrumental in rallying communities against youth drug abuse. Provincial Political Commissar Washington Nkomo emphasized the event united various stakeholders while promoting regional cohesion, with 12 teams from constituencies competing in netball and football at Welton Primary School and Mabidi Stadium in Beitbridge. Winners from the previous tournament invested their prize funds into goat rearing ventures that continue to thrive.

The provincial leadership praised Beitbridge sports facilities as aligned with national development goals for economic transformation by 2030.
Youth participants commended the Vice President for addressing drug challenges while providing platforms for talent development. Attendees from Beitbridge and Umzingwane districts highlighted the rotating venue format as promoting inclusivity across all seven provincial districts while supporting grassroots athletics and gender equity in sports participation.
