Escom woes continue, Blantyre Utd switch off power
Escom United poor run in the elite TNM Super League continued on Saturday when they were pruned 3-1 to much improved Blantyre United at the giant, Kamuzu Stadium in the commercial city of Malawi, Blantyre.

Chapitapasi, who was later shown marching orders after insulting the referee.
