“Her outstanding performance on the court is classic and she has once again put Malawi netball on the international map,” said Msungama.
He added: “Mwai’s remarkable performance at her Australian club and that of the Queens back home reminds us of the great potential our netball has.

Wonderful achievement from a great netball player. Congratulations!
I don;t see anything wrong with the photo. She is not naked as you are portraying her. It is a dress code for netballers. Malawians umbuli kuchuluka zedi.
I don’t know if this was the right photo to use
Kuyanika katundu ngati mphale
I like the picture.
Out of all photos why did you take this one… are you smoking weed there or what??
No, all of us like, actually love (non-romantic) Mwawi. But this is just disgraceful. Is she running a brothel in Australia? She is our ambassador, high profile for that matter. Akusowa chani in life to disgrace herself like this? She can call for a man olo osasamba from back home, azamusambitsa for a partner, mot this. Shame!
