Businessman pledges to reward Malawi goal scorers in Guinea Afcon game

Lilongwe business man Ali Mwachande has pledged to reward players who will score against Guinea on Tuesday in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Kamuzu Stadium.

Mwachande of Mangochi investments earlier promised to award a winning goal but has disclosed that his move has got the support of well wishers who have promised a K50,000 for any goal scored.

He said the offer was fair as the Malawi national football team who secured an important goalless draw in Conakry needed goals to win

“I am glad that some people have come forward in support of my pledge that instead of only looking at one individual we must extend it to all scorers,” Mwachande said.

He also appealed to the government and private sector to support team for it to achieve the feat.

Malawi have two points from three games having drawn twice and lost once just as Guinea while Swaziland and Zimbabwe have five points from three games.

Mwachande was an aspiring presidential candidate in the Football Association of Malawi elections but failed to secure nomination to stand.

He has also offered his three tonnes lorry to people in Lilongwe to use when travelling to Blantyre if they contribute towards expenses of fuel.
