The competition which started in May, is expected to end early next year while the 2012-2013 edition of the competition won by Joseph Mushaka ended on April.
Ndlovu got a gross score of 81 playing off handicap 14 getting a net score of 67 in the process.
The former BBA spokesperson yesterday told Southern Eye Sport that he had a good day in the greens.
“It was my first time to win the Mbada Golf Society competition. I had a good game and the course was very beautiful. I was hitting the ball high and it was landing directly on the greens and straight to the pins.
“It was a good day for me because I won three prizes. I have to be consistent because I do not have many points. I need to play well in the next Mbada Golf Society Competition,” he said.
Norbert Sebastian playing off handicap 14, posted a gross score of 83 to emerge on second spot, as he got a net score of 69 while Maxwell Zhuwarara followed on third spot.
