Mayunga added that the first show was conducted in English language with main reasons to deliver the message to multinational audience.
“We have started with English language because we target the multinational and local audiences, but that doesn’t mean we have ignored our local fans who might find it difficult to share with others or what is being offered.
“It is just a start and we have planned many of these programmes so as to give everyone a chance to express or contribute views towards the game development,” he said.
Adding, Mayunga said HOLIS has put in place amazing plan for volleyball fraternity and he is sure it will touch everyone once and benefited many.
“My plea to the volleyball family is to stay calm as the suitable time is yet to come. There are better arrangements ahead as I said earlier that we commit ourselves to serve volleyball,” he stressed.
He said HOLIS will not sleep and will keep coming up with other tournaments this year once the situation improves.
