The dawn of a new chapter has emerged at Goshen City Dedza Dynamos FC following the successful election of a fresh Executive Committee, a development that has sparked renewed optimism among supporters and stakeholders ahead of the upcoming football season.
Founder and Patron of the club, Lewis Yumbe Msukwa, has called on the newly elected leadership to embrace unity and work collectively towards strengthening the team’s vision and ambitions.
Yumbe made the remarks on Sunday, March 15, 2026, shortly after the club concluded its elections that ushered in a new Executive Committee led by Gerald Kampanikiza as Chairperson.
In his remarks, Yumbe assured the committee of his unwavering support, emphasizing that he will not interfere with their operations but expects them to remain united as they steer the club forward.
“I will fully support them, but I will not interfere in their work. What is important is for them to remain united for the good of the team,” said Yumbe.
He further explained that the decision to conduct elections was intentional, as he wanted supporters and stakeholders to freely choose leaders they trust to guide the club.
According to Yumbe, the elections mark a historic moment for the club as it is the first time such a process has been conducted since Goshen City Dedza Dynamos earned promotion to the elite league in 2021 before making their debut in 2022.
He expressed satisfaction with the development, noting that the democratic process is expected to strengthen the club’s governance structure and ultimately improve team performance.
Overseeing the electoral process was former Super League of Malawi (SULOM) Executive Member Charles Manyungwa, who commended the club for allowing supporters to actively participate in selecting their leaders.
Manyungwa described the move as a positive step in promoting transparency and democracy within football administration, particularly as the team prepares for the new season.
In his acceptance speech, newly elected Chairperson Gerald Kampanikiza pledged to serve with integrity and dedication, promising to honor the trust that supporters have placed in him and his team.
Kampanikiza will be deputized by Benito Kazika as Vice Chairperson, while Mabvuto Mugode will serve as the club’s General Secretary, alongside committee members Hazwell Gamphani, Lloyd Kachiwanda, Mr Mkundura, Blessings Soko, Hassan Phiri, Chimwemwe Sungani, Fanizo Magodi, Felix Madukani, Dalitso Kadam’manja, Charity Kabango and Jean Machemba.
