    Malawi will not do well because of the Goalkeeper Trainer, Chunga. The guy is not trainer at all but Kinnah’s juju man. Kinnah still believes in juju thats why you will always see Chunga in his technial panel. I wonder if FAM scrutinises the said panel. Two forces will be at work in Angola i.e Kambalazaza v Chunga. Watch out.

    Guys we are not asking much from you all what we want you to do there is to enjoy yourself and represent your country well. Don’t be burdened with peoples opinions and childish comments. Go there and work on your weaknesses and improve on your strenghts……… who knows what will come out of Angola. Most of you are young and will be still playing in the next africa cup of nations so go and do what you can do. failure and success is part of the game. Even the losing finalists are the losers and not winners.

    This is what Malawi National Team will do while in Angola I dont think that we will get nagative results in all the games naver, it will be a 50-50 games.

    Therefor, we should not look at nagative sides while our oponates are thinking day and night on how are they going to overtake malawi on this race.
    Kinnah Chimozi and Jack will do what we need.
