Out of interest, do Malawian players undergo any routine medicals before and during their contracts as players? something worth thinking about.

What a loss!My condolences to the Airborne Rangers and the family.As a BB fan I am mourning with you!
I partly agree with few of your points raised in this article,
firstly i dont share with u on the point that weak security systems should be blamed on kanyama as the leader but rather on the Malawi police service at large, similaly it wasnt about mkitho but rather a collective effort.
secondly kanyama says his decisions are based on his current health status which I am fully convienced that its his call to decide his current life and not yours and next time check ur limits of thoughts.
Wrong parking of your post dude! Geez!
RIP
May his soul RIP.
