Chirambo laid to rest with moving tributes
Bullets defender Douglas Chirambo was hailed as “the role model” at his funeral by Minister of Sports Grace ‘Obama’ Chiumia. He was laid to rest on Tuesday at his home place Chirambo Village, Traditional Authority Chikulamayembe in Rumphi.
Chirambo whose death, after succumbing to a brain tumour at Thyolo District Hospital on Sunday, triggered outrage over growing abuse of players, was hailed for his contribution to the nation in development of football and a role model to upcoming football players for his loyalty and talent.
The sports minister the death of Chirambo must be a wake-up call to all football administrators to have their players on medical scheme to avoid losing more talent.
Chiumia said government is very saddened with Chirambo’s untimely death and has since called on all stakeholders to join government in improving the welfare of players in the country.
“Heaven has opened its golden gates to welcome home one of his disciples who played his role on the earth and left an indelible mark, Rest in Peace Daga”, said Chiumia as the mourners groaned in approval.
Chiumia, who during the ceremony refused to be accorded VIP treatment and opted to be with other mourners added: “Daga was a fantastic footballer, he was skilful.”
Taking his turn, Football Association of Malawi (FAM) vice president, Moses Mkandawire said: “Douglas was amazing player. Malawi has lost great talent.”
Bullets executive committee was represented by its vice chairperson from the central region Austin Kasito who was at loss of words with the death of Chirambo whom he described as not only the long serving player of the team but also the most trusted and loyal member of the club.
Meanwhile, Bullets Captain Fischer Kondowe has send a stern warning
to Bullets executive and trustees that players will not play for the team if they are not insured and put on medical
scheme.
Chirambo fell ill in December and according to Bullets top fan Mabvuto Chirambo, the family struggled to raise K200 000 needed for brain scan.
Apparently, during that time, Bullets could afford to make donations to the needy [flood victims]. It later transpired that K2 million was required for the treatment.

mulungu ndiye mwini chifundo
if bullets is the peoples team,is this the way they treat players? what happened for the official not to attend to their fellow player yet they were busy distributing food stuffs to the needy?this is stupid to the officials. for the players you need to step up and think about your welfare when you fall in the same situation otherwise your clubs only love you when you score goals and this is the best example.

BB donating to flood victims in Nsanje while their family had a sick child. FISHER himself was on the trip to Nsanje for the donations. Why guys you didn’t discuss anything concerning Daga sickness that time. BB mwanayu mwapha nokha. You have organised many fundraising activities of late including that 36 ya mita yafomboni imangopezeka ndi m’madiary momwe mu offince. Watch out.Remember having money and having ideas to help somebody in time of needy are two different things.BB members including admininstrators, players and supporters, you have been inhumane here.SHAME ON YOU GUYS.
Again this is a warning to players that investment is needed. Even if you are covered by medical schemes, medical schemes can not cover all your medical help at all. At times you can prefer a public hospital compared to medical scheme support unless players you are fools who don’t know the meaning of medical scheme. Like this situation of over two million kwacha, the club can not insure each player to that extent of being supported by 2 mita at once. That is likely to be the expensive medical scheme which your club can not afford. If BB fails to pay less than K100,000 per month for each player, then what about medical scheme.
Comment: THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS GOVT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NORTHRNERS. IF CHIRAMBO WAS FROM THE SOUTH THE GOVT COULD HAVE GIVEN THE 2.5.
Umbuli a Mbachi
It’s somehow hypocritical for supporters to point fingers at administrators yet they themselves do not at any rate contribute to the team though they claim to be supporters(not real meaning in this case). Kutora khobwe kuja ndikumene kukuzunzitsanso maplayers. Mmalo moti timu ikhale ndi ndalama mumaba ndinuyo mmagate, ngakhalenso ma administrators ali ndi gawo pa izi, masupporters/fans mukulowetsa mpira pansi mMalawi muno.
Kodi anali ofunika kuposa a Malawi onse SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSShit medical aid should trickle down all the way to the locals as well. anthu akusowa asprin gause,arv aulelewa kumangodzifera boma kumaotcha mamkhwala a expaya nde apa osangoti Daga Daga Malawi aliyense akufunika chithandizo cha chipatala. anthu a mboma alibe scheme iliyonse makampanienewa alibe kumangoyenda ngati nyama Amalawi tiyeni ti chedwepo pa umoyopa
Fischer well said, but why didn’t you boycott CAF demanding that money for DAGA be raised first? Mukulira bodza because you had time that you could have done something for your fellow player who was like family to you all but munali busy kunjenjemera CAF competition. How much was collected between BB and Fomboni team? Why didn’t you force management of BB to use part of proceeds towards sending DAGA for treatment? Those are what we call ‘PURE CROCODILE TEARS’!!!. Nonse ndinu adyera, zitselekwete, shupiti zanu ndisamvenso wina chweee apa.
Ku court basi inu abale a daga, anamulemba ntchito ndi a bullets cìfukwa cholephera kusamala wantcìto wawo.komanso a Fam ndi a sports council amangoziwa kutenga mashare apa gate
Masapota a Bullets lero musayankhule ngati ndiinu anthu anzeru, siinu amene mumakakamira pa gate ndikumaba ndalama zomwe zikanamathandiza ma player stupid don’t just blame the executive you are also to blame.
Nedson, U must be mad… How can U accuse government of not helping Douglas Chirambo and up to the extent of mentioning Mulhako???? If you loved your Douglas, why did the northern ( the ngonis, tongas, nkhondes ) tribes contributed to have him treated outside.
You can’t help each other and you expect the Lhomwe president you castigate day in day out to help you???? Stupid, idiots northerners…..
may his soul rest in peace though too early
Awuse mumtendere tikusowani mu BB League
I hope the welfare of the players lie in the hands of all football administrators FAM, SULOM & Government. Players here in Malawi receive peanuts hence they can’t invest unlike those who play footaball in foreign land. On a lighter note, Bullets went to lowershire to assist the flood victims why couldn’t they have done the same to their departed colleague? Anyway this has happened but let not the same happen again, governemnt should be in the fore front in assisting the player through the Ministry of sports. May the Soul of Douglas rest in peace. I rest my case.
Rest in peace.
Had it been it was mulakho, he would have been assisted.
Guys tisiye kumalowa ulere kumpira..kuyambira ku VIP, and secondly the gate collections should not fail in lazy bones pamene otipira akuvutika….ngati tiri ndi mzimu, pa imfa imeneyi tikuyenera kukhala ndi chifundo kwamaplayer ndi ambiri akusowa….Render that which is of Caeser unto Caeser…inu pangani zanu.
You decorated the game of football with beautiful free kicks…..memories live on…RIP Daga
You wanted to be seen on funeral like you loved him but when he was sick you wore your faces down, tipical malawians. RIP Daga
Comment R.I.P Daga de world will miss u
Thanx fellow Malawians. Tamulira Daga….. Tiyeni tigwilane manja kuona kwatsala ntchire.
Rest in peace Douglas
Charity begins at home so they say but Big Bullets went ahead making flashy donations to flood victims in the lower states why couldnt they 1st of all help their player?
Mutengeleko phunzilo inu wosewela masewelo ampila zimakhala bwino kuthandiza munthu amene wazithandiza kale mukapatsidwa ma allowance anu wosamwela zonse kapena kunyengela muzapusa nazo
Everybody is to blame: govt, FAM, Bullets officials, fellow player, and late Daga himself. Football career has a short term. Do not drink all the money you earn. While you fight for med scheme at ur clubs, manage ur earnings properly for life eventuallities
guys, we need to stop blaming fam and government. these clubs are now over 50 years old. they must start running as companies now (minibuses, clubhouses, bars and restaurants and shops)
kamuzu stadium is a government structure so we cant keep abusing it. the gatetakings are always stolen because too many people expect a share. each club should have its own ground where it will control its own gate takings and stage its own fundraising shows.
4 million bullets supportes have failed this boy.
R.I.P daga heaven has really won an angel we will miss u dear
rest in peace daga.
teams and gvt they must safeguard players.
Nose a Big Bullets ndinu anyapapi zoona Daga akamwalile ndi thenda yoti itha kuchilitsidwa koma kukanika mumuthandiza dife wanu nose pamnyapanu
DOUGOR DIED BECAUSE OF RECKLESS OF BULLETS.To unfold things,Bullets officials I dont care how many you are but you the ones to blame.Failing to raise 200 000 for brain scarning and 2.5 million for the treatment for your own talented left back and today you say the death of chirambo is a big loss?I prophesy I can see the peoples team ending. What a shame,you were even failing to go and see Dougor in Thyolo but upon hearing that he is no more then you come in large numbers including the big snake?TO ALL BULLETS PLAYERS,DO YOU SEE MEDICAL SCHEME A SOLUTION TO DOUGOR’s DEATH?MIND YOU FOOTBALL ITS A SHORT CARIER.ABULLETS MUNGAIME APA LERO KUNENA KUTI MZIMU WA DOUGOR UUSE MTENDERE LERO?UFITI MULI NAWO NDITHU.NDINALI CHETE KUMULIRA M’BALE WANGA KOMA ZIKUNDIWAWA!!MWAMUPHA M’BALE WANGA,NDINGASIYANISE BWANJI DOUGOR NDI SUPPORTER WAMBA?MUZIMU WA M’BALE WANGA DOUGOR UUTSE M’MTENDERE!DZIKO NDICHONCHO NGDKHALE AKUUNDUNA NDI A FAM MUSANDILAKWITSE NDI MA LANKHULIDWE ANU MUNALIKUTI?UFITI BASI UFITI SIKUTAMBA KOKHA KOMA M’MENE ZAKHALIRAMU ZAM’BALE WANGA DOUGOR.MWAZIWA LITI KUTI ANALI WALUSO?MUSANDIYANKHULISE PAMBALI!MULUNGU SIMUNTHU AMAONA ZONSE.CHAUTA NDAMENE ADALITSE IFE TONSE.ZOONA IMFA YAM’BALE WANGA IKAKHALE TURNING POINT YOSINTHIRA ZINTHU ZOONA???
The Death Of Chilambo Has Taken The Hearts Of More Malawian Soccer Pundits And For Sure Administrators Has To Learn Something So Too With The Players. RIP DAGA
I donot see the reason why govt also failed to raise K2,500,00 for Douglas?If it was for mulhakho you would get money from NAC but because it was Douglas then football administrators should put their players on medical scheme.Northerners with ambitions to play for BB take care.Mwamufwilako bb now is a death trap.Those who are angry just call 0 888 185 448.
Stupid Administrators Has Caused The Death Of D Chilambo
Rest In Peace Daga… tinakukonda kma Mulungu wakukondesetsa… sitizaiwala zintchito zako.
Dont just blame the admistrators. the players are also to blame when they receive their allowances they rush to kamba to drink and fight for women instead of investing their money. I would support that teams should organise one friendly per month and let all proceeds go towards their social welfare. Look John Zilinde is in pathetic state even selling sachets yet he used to play for the national team.
Thus utter rubbish, how much do players recieve. They need to enjoy there lives. Let the teams pay for there medical schemes.
Even if they receive 15grand thats alot by malawi standarsds
Daga’s death,awork up call for the teams.We dont want to see ths happen again to our players.
Problem at Bullets is the Mary go round type of thinking. Kubwereza zinthu zopanda nzeru. Kasito amakonda team ya Bullets ambiriwa Kudikira pa gate for money
May ur soul rest in peace Daga.
Kumadutsa pa thyolo kupita ku phalombe kukapereka donations kwa ma flood victims who apparently needed more help than daga? Bullets imeneyo
ma officials mwatikhumudwisa en shortly mwanayu mwapha nokha taluza player wabwno
Our God is able he’s mighty and faithful.oh God take care of the bereaved family. We shall miss ur services Daga Rest In Eternal Peace. Ndili Ndi Chikhulupiliro Ukuimba Ndi Angelo.
Ma gate collection amapita kuti
I wonder why this rage by Bullets players on administrators. The question is what did fellow players do to help their colleague? One friendly game between Bullets and Wanderers would have been enough to raise the required K2.5 million and save his life . Why didnt fellow players who are appearing clever today not organize such game?
am saddened by your death DAGGA, we will meet again in GOD glory, malawi football clubs learn to respect players, pliz help players , never want their talent if u cant need their problems, even car needs service after every 5000 kms,, Learn basic principles of life FAM, SULOM, WANDERERS, SILVER STRIKERS, BULLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Fischer u r right, its about time, money or no money, player welfare is supposed to be top preority. In a family when a child is sick or selected to sec sch, the family does anything, even selling something. thats a good fathet
MCP requores support from the north and therefore tikulila nanu
Sad indeed, 200,000 only, dat can be taken from a single game gate collection
