It was an event on the Southern Africa Tour until the late 1970s.
== History ==<!--The inaugural event was held at Chapman Golf Club in Salisbury, Rhodesia.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.chapmangolf.co.zw/about-us/ |title=About Chapman – History |publisher=Chapman Golf Club}}</ref>-->
The tournament rotated round three host courses, Royal Salisbury Golf Club and Chapman Golf Club in Salisbury (now Harare), and Bulawayo Golf Club in Bulawayo.{{fact|date=October 2023}}
Due to the seasonal nature of the circuit there were two tournaments held in both 1971 and 1976, and no event in 1975, as it was rescheduled between early and late dates in the season.{{fact|date=October 2023}}
