Kafoteka sues Football Association of Malawi again
Former Malawi national football team the Flames’ vice-captain Elvis Kafoteka has sued the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) seeking compensation after he got injured during national team duty.
Kafoteka got injured after sustaining an open fracture during the East and Central Africa Senior Challenge Cup held in Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania.
He said he withdrew the lawsuit after FAM General Secretary assured him that they would sort him out.
The former Escom United midfielder-turned defender disclosed that he has filed a lawsuit after paying K400,000 to meet costs of medical bill for a fracture injury he sustained in Tanzania.
“I have consulted my lawyers to file for a lawsuit because FAM has not honoured their promise that they will sort me,” Kafoteka said.
He sustained an open fractured injury which affected his career.
Kafoteka attempted to revive his career at Mighty Wanderers but failed to secure a place after the recurring of the injury.
The outspoken player finished his career at Moyale Barracks and has also joined Malawi Defence Force as soldier.
Malawi National Council of Sports also said it would not entertain Kafoteka’s complaint because he sustained the injury before enforced the insurance policy of national team players for all the disciplines.

Mwana Wakwathu Kwa Zenga Osamupangira Nkhaza
This reminds me of a song by Edgar and Davis, Mmamawa galu, madzulo gona apa. If I was a footballer I would never ever represent Malawi national team. We need these people to play for us but when they got injured we dump them. Even Maxwel Chirwa was treated like this. Now my advice to the players is when they have the ball and an opponent is coming for a tackle, they must leave the ball to prevent an injury.
I didn’t expect such a comment from sports council. You dunderheads, you don’t have a human face at all. Shupit!!!!!
Very ugly, vile, immature and insensitive sports administrator. Eish!
sports in malawi is za masewera. not something to be taken seriously. no wonder we are not progressing.
a sports council you player mh!!! akanafa maliro simukanapanga attend coz ngwanyuwani unregestered? take care! kumayankhula moyenera that u can defend urself in case of u turn.
Shaaaaa pa nyasaland bwezi akuotcha makala nzanga chipanda MDF !
You sued before… wekha u dropped the charges kuti basi zatha, this that. Lero poti wachakachika wati koma iyayi pomwe ndingatolere ndi pa FAM. oooookkkkeeeeyyyy
Kafoteka is not a soldier
Mupatseni Kafoteka what belongs to him….See this is exactly what Mwai has been preaching to NAM….These are individuals with families, with rights…The guy got injured on national duty, wearing national colours…Sort him out and let the administrators learn from this case..Umaitha Kafoteka…Long live Malawi….Saulos Woyee, Apita Woyee…DPP nso woyeee!
