The Mopani Zambia Open 2026 had barely found its rhythm when golfing folklore was rewritten in a single, breathtaking moment. On 9th June 2026, mere hours after the tournament teed off, young Zambian amateur Kennedy Likomeno achieved golf’s rarest feat, a hole-in-one.

Standing at the 11th hole of Nkana Golf Club, young Zambian amateur Kennedy Likomeno addressed the ball with the quiet composure of a seasoned veteran. Few could have predicted what followed. His swing was fluid, almost casual, yet the ball soared with unerring precision, tracing an arc of perfection before vanishing into the cup.

Silence. Then, eruption.

Kennedy had just achieved what no competitor had managed since the tournament’s inception: the first ever hole-in-one in Mopani Zambia Open history. A feat that had humbled professionals and mocked the ambitions of determined amateurs for years had finally fallen to a young man with nothing to lose and everything to prove.

“I still cannot believe it,” Kennedy admitted afterwards, his voice carrying the weight of disbelief. “You dream of these moments, but they never truly feel real until the ball drops.”

A Prize Fit for Legends

The spectacular shot earned Kennedy more than eternal bragging rights. CFAO Mobility in Zambia, the tournament’s proud sponsor, presented him with a brand-new Land Cruiser Pick-Up 2.8 GD Engine, Automatic Transmission, a vehicle valued at an astonishing $99,910. Yet, as Kennedy himself acknowledged, the prize was never truly about the metal and machinery. “This proves anyone holding a club can be a victor,” he said with characteristic humility. “The club does not know your age or your status. It only responds to belief.”

The Handover: A Moment of Celebration

A month after that historic stroke, the official handover ceremony took place in Kitwe, where Branch Manager Mr. Charles Micheal Daka proudly presented Kennedy with his well-earned reward. The gleaming Land Cruiser Single Cab stood as a monument to sporting audacity, a testament that the impossible is merely the untried. “The tournament ran until 14th June, but this young man has already defined the week,” remarked tournament officials at the time. How prophetic those words now seem.

More Than a Tournament

For CFAO Mobility in Zambia, this moment transcended competition. It embodied their enduring commitment to championing dreams, to believing that extraordinary moments emerge precisely when we least anticipate them. “We are in the business of movement, on the roads and on the green,” reflected Mr. Daka during the ceremony. “Kennedy’s achievement reminds us that greatness does not announce itself; it simply arrives.”

From Tee to Trophy

As the Mopani Zambia Open continues its rich tradition, the 2026 edition will forever be remembered as the year an amateur silenced the odds and made sporting history. Kennedy Likomeno’s name is now indelibly etched into Zambian golfing legend, a reminder that in golf, as in life, perfection is not reserved for the privileged, It awaits those brave enough to swing.

At CFAO Mobility in Zambia, the belief remains steadfast: dreams are not merely imagined, they are driven forward, one extraordinary moment at a time.

Under the resounding theme “Fostering Trade and Investment,” the 98th Agricultural & Commercial Show marked a defining chapter for CFAO Mobility Zambia. From 29th of July to 3rd of August 2026, our stand became a hub of dynamic engagement, drawing hundreds of visitors eager to experience our latest mobility solutions, including a standout display of premium pre-owned vehicles from our trusted Automark range, which drew particular interest from cost-conscious farmers and growing enterprises.

One of the moments that stood out during the exhibition came when a panel of distinguished judges toured our display. As the Judges made their way through the stand assessing how CFAO had interpreted the event theme, our team took them on an immersive walk-through of the CFAO Mobility exhibition. We shared how the theme, “Fostering Trade and Investment,” is brought to life through our products and services, highlighting our commitment to driving growth across key sectors of the Zambian economy.

The judges engaged enthusiastically with our team, taking a closer look at solutions designed to meet Zambia’s unique agricultural and logistics needs. From the dependable Toyota Hilux and the versatile Ford range to our robust forklift portfolio, they explored how our vehicles and equipment help businesses operate more efficiently and effectively. Their appreciation of our engineering excellence and industry-focused innovation was both encouraging and rewarding, reaffirming our commitment to providing solutions that move Zambia forward.

Complementing our sales offerings, we also showcased Loxea, our dedicated leasing division, providing flexible and affordable leasing solutions tailored for businesses looking to acquire vehicles and equipment without the burden of upfront capital expenditure, further fostering trade and investment across the sector.

The crowning triumph came on the fifth day, when CFAO Mobility clinched not one, but two prestigious accolades: Best Motor Trader – 1st Place and the Society President’s Award. These dual honours underscore our relentless pursuit of excellence, the trust of our partners, and the unwavering spirit of our team.

As the show curtain falls, we extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers, visitors, and stakeholders who made this milestone possible. This achievement fuels our continued commitment to sustainable development and local enterprise, not just for today but for the years ahead.
