‘Doubting Thomases proved wrong’: Mutharika to launch Bullets, Wanderers’ stadia construction
The construction of stadia for domestic football powerhouses Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers in Blantyre is expected to start this Thursday June 11 2020 soon after President Peter Mutharika presides over the groundbreaking ceremony, government has said.



Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Francis Phiso has said the works are estimated to take 104 weeks- about two years.
“The contracts have already been signed, the contractors are already at the sites. So, we are good to go,” he said.
President Mutharika promised to build the stadia’s for the two giants last year and Treasury allocated K1.6 billion (K800 million) each in the 2019/20 National Budget..
The President will tour both sites—near Moneymen along Chikwawa Road for Bullets and Kanjedza Forest near Blantyre Teachers College for the Nomads.
Both Bullets and Wanderers officials have commended President Mutharika for fulfilling his promise and that they were pleased with the state-of-the art designs of their home grounds.
The People’sTeam chief administration officer Albert Chigoga said the country has reached reached a stage where “ all doubters realise the fulfillment of the project”
Nomads general secretary Victor Maunde said the Lali Lubani Road side is thankful to the President Mutharika and government for living up to the promise.
“The doubting Thomases have been proved wrong,” he said.
The two giants will now have a permanent home grounds.

nyekhwe! nyenkhwe! nyekhwe! zipakirani baba
Kamuzu built chichiri stadium when we had nothing. Development never stops even if there is famine.
Never, the British built it.
Kamuzu never built Chichiri stadiumIt was built by atsamunda and it was called Langley stadium. Kamuzi was sworn in as prime minister at Langely stadium. That tells you ut was there before he even became prime minister
Do they not have roof what a rubbish who does that in this day of age
Wasting your time gogo. You failed long time ago. No fan will vote for you just because you laid a stone. Ndipo sutopa kuika miyala. Mbombera, lithipe.
This is just campaign
Yatha ma plan nkhalamba.
Za ziiiìiii !!
After winning the elections, you were sleeping, and neva dreamt of constructing the said stadia.
Simply because we’re having FPE , then you think soccer followers will vote for the dpp?
You’re failing to maintain BNS , a structure built by ur bro.
You’re even failing to look after Kamuzu stadium
Shallow minded fools.
Anamanga bwanji Bingu stadium ku L’s nde kuti amange ku Blantyre for the biggest clubs in the country NDE mwayamba ntoga ayufinso kudana ndichitukuko.Mukhumudwa kungomva kuti ndinu osutsa boma ndendichitukuko chomwe.
bingu stadiun anamanha ndi ma china ndipo ndi ngongole yomwe tizabweza mpaka mibado 10 ikubwerayi. Izi ndiye zopepera akupanga a nkhalambawa
Mkulu oika Miyala is back
Koma gogo uyu p professor anamupatsa chifukwa cha bodza ndi kuba. Nalikukuti zoona angamange stadium
For what you think people of Malawi angatengeke ndi zimenezo than Jobs,money?komaso umoyo wabwino ndi ufulu omwe munatilanda?
am still doubting of this development…………….
Kkkkkkk akuuzani kale kuti doubting thomases have to believe mwatsalabe mmbuyo eti aaaaa tangosandukani chulu cha mchere basi tidzikhalapo poyinga mbalame mmunda wa mapira wawa
I agree with you. Talking about construction of a stadium is not the same as constructing a stadium. Evidence is mombera university, Nsanje port just to mention a few. Writer wakokomeza ngati zeni-zenitu. Bodza kwambiri a president athu. Koma timakukondanibe.
I suppose you thought these stadia would buy you votes in the fresh election? Forget it bambo. Thousands of youths scampering for jobs, as seen yesterday, decampaigned you. It would have been different were the resources wasted on job creation, education, hospitals. Certainly not on stadia.
Tiona ngati ma stadium amenewo amangidwe
So we can not even provide decent accomodation for students at all our Public Universities but heh someone thinks Stadias are more important than Education. Anyway, do not get worried Ladies and Gents, they need your votes
Izizi zikazatheka muzadule mkono wanga wa ku manja. Mombela university ili pati? Akunama gogo emeneyu
Mombela ndi ya ku north amwene sangamange. Northerners don’t deserve developments from this government. Ma stadiumwa amanga ndithu.
Big projects take time time kodi inuyo ngati kanyumba kanu with 2 bedrooms take u 5 yrs and u r talking of billion kwacha projects zitheka wawa take ur time. In 1975 malawi was not as we see today but here we are so no matter how long it may take things will take shape. Look u were doubting about abolishment of quota what about today many students have gone to colleges on merit as promised by govt. Ndiye zinazi learn to zip ur mouth zikhoza kukuthandizani koposa
Comment yopusa kwambiri, Ida.
Wanderers and Bullets football clubs are inefficient and ineffective to run these clubs as a business. They are two of the oldest clubs in the country but have had no proper business plans and acumen to financially prosper and stand on their own. They fail to pay fees to players and stuff. So it strange to see government sponsoring these two entities.
This is ridiculous from a government that has no priorities as far as social services are concerned.
Malawians will vote out this dying government regardless of these campaign promises.
Kkkkkk mwana akalira nsatsi timamusemera ifotere yekha so no mention let them fail but malawians will have memories that govt did them a good thing
Wasting taxpayers money for a stadium. Queen Elizabeth hospital and other rural hospitals have no proper facilities and medical supplies. But this useless President Mutharika can afford to build football stadia for commercial viable football clubs.
The idea that these two clubs can be given taxpayers money for propaganda and campaignpurposes beggars belief.
He has failed to revive Nsanje port of Bingu. Failed to construct Mzuzu airport and Mombela University. He is a liar.
Vote him out .He unfit for the officeof the highest level in a poor struggling economy.
Kick him out.
Kicks of a dying horse.
Ndinu amene tizikakuonani ku ma stand mukuchemerera ma team anu. Mlungu simunthu mwina ana anuwo nkutheka wina mlingu adzamdalitsa nkukhala football player wa omodzi mwa ma team amenewa. Nde poti munthu ndichoncho. Nthawi ya Bingu anthu amakana chomodzimodzi nde itamangidwa stadium pano akuombera mmanja ali kuchemerera mpira momwemo🙈🐒🐒
We have a ”big stone” for Mombela University, why cant we start foundation before these two project.
Why is an acting and lame duck president committing the next administration to expensive and useless projects which he knows he will not open?
Dementia perhaps?
Total madness, dpp is been led by an old fool indeed, where is mombera and mzuzu airport?? Empty promises till the day you exit the office? Chamba eti.
Don’t pull wool over people’s eyes. What if other football clubs begin to demand the same. Mr President you are trying to please a certain section of society. If this money was yours- no problem you could possibly do as you like. But hey! We hear treasury is releasing the money, so it is not your money and quite frankly we could renovate our schools or hospitals that look like unkempt graveyards with that kind of money. What is going on in Malawi?
Wasting money building stadia instead of improving the health system.
Mumange stadia musamange choti mudziwe voti ndiya Tonse alliance
All this time I have had a positive attitude towards Nyasa Times, but it’s now a sham
kungochulukitsa chiwerengero chamiyala yozalidwa basi
Direct those resources to fighting preventable diseases, getting PPEs for health workers , buying drug for hospitals!
Kodi mukuti the WHOLE NTCHONA will officiate the launch of these substandard things? DC would have the more appropriate figure to quietly oversee the launch.
Covid -19 is on hold????
Yesterday we saw people stampeding for a job opportunity. Today you are telling them you are constructing stadia. People need jobs not spectating football matches ! Mpatseni madzi amwele !
Eyetu! Nde khalidwe lake. Akayikenso miyala yina ngati mmene anapangira ku Mombera ndi ma projects ena mdziko muno. The moment he wins, forget about those projects. Nde Mutharika ameneyo… akuti wise and dynamic leadership hahahaha… Malawians really stoop so low by voting for this useless man who is not fit to be president. No wonder his brother never wanted him to lead. Anawonongeratu mtundu ndi dzina la Mutharika
What you are NOT REPORTING is the FACT that EACH Stadium is going to COST 100 BILLON x 2 = k200 Billion estimated COST taking 2 years to build and 20 to 25 years to pay back the loan to two separate contractors FOR PRIVATE CLUBS who should have found their own Financing as reported January 2019. The insignificant k1.6 Billion budgeted is for DESIGN or site work ONLY certainly NOT THE COST….. Could have commenced builting a University or even thousands of Primary School Blocks or ensured medicine for hospitals Priorities NOT RIGHT
Yet he could not attend parliament the last time I checked. Talk about misplaced priorities!
APM failed to go to Parliament to deliver the SONA giving Covid19 as the reason but he wants to conduct a rally, is he normal?! That’s why others are saying the guy has lost some memory!
APM should use the rally to apologise to Malawians for the tragedy his administration caused to the youth yesterday. That was a sham of interviews
Green Muheya, you must be a brainless DPP zelalot to come up with such title/headline for your news article. It is only idiots who cannot see through. I support on of the teams that will benefit from project, but i am not casting my vote for APM and there are many who will not be swayed by this.
Your mistake is generalising and speak on behalf of everyone. This was a promise that was made. A promise that’s is now being kept. Whether people vote or not. You can shove your views up your ass
I hope you read my comment Nyekhwe, or your brain is Nyekhwe. I pointed on the headline. This project was approved parliament. No one doubted about this project, people protested that it is not a priority for the government. My views still stand that MANY will not vote for your Nyekhwe president.
All other developments in the country should stop because they are not a priority?? My opinion still stands, you think with your ass. History repeats itself, history says Mcp loses every election and cries after. History repeats itself!
What about the jobless young people we saw yesterday. Muwamangila liti ma companies to create job opportunities. I say your priorities are misplaced Mr President- this is purely a campaign trait. What about ma nyumba a ma police officers, simunawamangile olo kuwankhonzela nyumba zakale zija? You have lost my confidence Mr President…… Stadium can never be a priority in Malawi it is rather a luxury. Agulireni anthu ovutika chakudya, mankhwala ndi zinthu zina zosowa pa moyo wawo. Mukatelo Mulungu akudalitsani. Osakhala zimene mukupanga kuzinzitsa anthu.
Not the job of government to create companies. That’s the jobs of us citizens, you and me. Where have you heard government run business being a success without bailouts and becoming a burden on the tax payers. Our problem is we are lazy and we expect government to do everything. You, go out there and create a company for government to collect taxes and build roads.
But we had so many companies which were being run by the government before
Go back to school, government does not build companies.
Governments create a good environment where loads of companies can open and therefore creating jobs. Inu ngati muli pa ntchito thokozani Mulungu. This government is busy self-pocketing whatever resources. Hence no companies want to associate themselves with such leadership
Inu amene munapita ku sukulu mwina mukhonza kutiwuza kuti ntchito ya government ndi chani?
Go back to the RIGHT school..the govt does build companies through good policies
why anything coming from mutharika and dpp stinks!
Is it my nose may b?
No, your nose is just fine dude…but zochitika zikununkhadi kkkk
Am sure people will get to know that you intend to beg for votes. Tonse alliance will complete the project if need be. Mwadyapo madala. Mwatipondeleza mokwana.
JUST SAY THANK YOUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MARAKANA KU BRAZIL BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This is non-starter. Akanakhala ndi ndalama zake za apm , I could have suggested kuti alipiliretu chifukwa akaluza pa 23 June pano, sindikhulupilira adzalola kumanga ma stadium amenewo. Pano ndi kampeni strategy chabe angofuna ma voti from southern region kuiwala kuti mavoti a 2019 anthu ake ena ndi okha okhao, ena mpaka kumuthotholotsa mu ndixville momwemu..
Kwa a Bata and Wanderers dekhani kaye pang’ono ma stadium adzamangidwa Ambuye akalola koma osanyadiratu kopitiliza. Boma likutsintha pa 23 pomwepa ndiye ma project ena a boma adzaunikidwa ndi boma latsopano la ku Tonse Alliance and projects will be prioritized malinga ndi zosowa za a Malawi panthawi imeneyo boma likamakonza ndondomeko ya ma project otukulira dziko.
Mwachidule dzulo kumamveka kuti chisankho chisachitike chifukwa cha shortfall, gwiritsani kaye ndalama ina ndi imeneyi as chisankho is the priority now. Awa a chi Mulli ndi anzao ena a katangale ku dpp musathamange kuwachita compensate panopa – so ndalama imeneyo muonjezerenso ku ya chisankho. Ma compensation mwayalawo adikire kaye boma latsopano likubwera kuti adzawunikenso bwino bwino ndipo ngati pali zachilungamo, adzawapatsabe, no need to rush…
Our immediate need to resolve NOW is to vote for a legitimate presidency by 2 July 2020.
God save Malawi – Stay Blessed
Did he say he will use money from his pocket u dunderhead? It’s written their parliament allocated 1.6 billion
iwe ndiye mbuzi za mbuzi….koma unapita ku school? umatha kuwerenga ndi kumva zomwe munthu walemba?Werenganso ndiye uchitenso comment yotsimikiza I have written kuti apm will use his money. Ndi ndalama za boma kumene that’s why ndikuti ma stadium later, ndalamayo tipangire chisankho. Ndipo iwe undisamale wamva?
Tha money was already allocated by parliament in a previous budget you imbecile, meaning opposition and government, ka 1.6 billion basi.How can they allocate it again to an election shortfall of 34billion. Do you understand anything about how parliament and budgeting works? Inu mkalasi Mudali zitsilu zomangoloweza Zija ati? Osamvetsetsa the concepts
1.6 biliion awonjezera ku chitsankho. za ma stadium sidzichitika. I don’t even need to understand about how parliament and budgeting works, I don’t care. Iwe ungandifunse kuti how can they allocate it again to an election? You must be a fucking asshole to believe that whatever is in the budget zimangogwira ntchito yokhayo. why are our hospitals lacking drugs yet the allocated funds? why mombera university not yet under construction? where is the Chingale -Lirangwe road when works started and suddenly ,nothing yet funds were allocated in several budgets? Simply dpp has always been diverting the same governemnt budget allocations into their pockets ndeyeno iweyo ndithu ukufuna undiuze kuti ndi zosatheka to re-allocate? mphwanga wachepa. ndiponso t’es un fils de pute! iwenso undisamale
That won’t stop change, we need to change the govt
Zaziii, tionana pa 23 june 2020 pano
this was agreed in parliament with subsequent budget appropriation.
Haaaaaaaaaaa. What a chaos! Its too late to save Mutharika!
APM akalonjeza zimachitika
Zazii
Paja Mombera University, Mzuzu Airport etc anamanga!!!
Do we need an airport in mzuzu? Mombera is coming
Kikikikiiiiiiii, last assignment agogo kodi? Incoming government, please scrap this 17th century structure and come up with a state of the art stadium please. No more THIRD WORLD structures anymore.
Bye bye agogo.
Too late.
DPP is going out.
hahahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!Doubting Thomases??????????????????? Inunso Olemba mudziunikirapo mukapatsidwa ntchito,mukungolunjika ku ndalama basi?kkkk!you are discrediting yourself Che Muheya,mkomwemkomwe mukuoneka kuti ndinu Cadet.We can not clap hands for launch,alot of things have been launched years ago.Upto now nothing is progressing,dnt cheat us.We are not kids so tht u want our votes,Mwalemba mmadzi Nkhanga dzaona.13 days to go,thts a shallow thinkng bringng this news to bribe us.Hahahahahaahaaaaaaaa!
kamalizitseni kaye ground laku zomba mbudzi inu
football clubs are private entity…tikufuna ndarama za zisankho ife
Is this the artistic impression of the much taunted state of the art stadiums that they were talking about?
Morden stadium without a roof for the spectators?
Is this just another last minute campaign gimmick to go into the history o& DPP unfulfilled foundation stones?
Sorry you have just lost my vote…….
I FEEL SORRY FOR MALAWIAN TAX PAYERS MONEY IN THE HANDS OF A REGIONALISTIC
LOMWE LEADER, BY THE WAY WHO GAVE THIS MAN SUCH AUTHORITY TO ABUSE OUR MONEY?
Keep your vote or throw it to the crocodiles. Our votes have already qualified APM the winner.
MBUZI YAMUNTHU……kusaganiza…..unawona dzulo anthu kuphana kusowa ntchito koma wina nkumayika ndalama ku mastadium
TIZIKAKHALA PA DZUWA
For K800 million yes.. that money is peanuts.just be thankful and move along. We don’t have medicine in the hospitals. People fighting for jobs
People were not doubting but they were against the use of government money for the construction of the stadiums.
Tippex was supposed to use his stollen money to construct NOT tax-payers money.
This man is taking Malawians for fools.This is desperation at i`ts highest. Leave this to the new government.
zosilana zosilana
Kukhala Mmalawi nchiphysinjo, palibe chimene timayamika. Apanso zalakwika poti project ikuyambika. Shameles and fucked minds
