Minister of Gender, Mary Navicha, has expressed gratitude to God for the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) return to power, assuring Malawians of the government’s commitment to fulfilling its campaign promises.
Navicha, who was the guest of honour at the finals of the Joseph Mwanamvekha Football Tournament in Thumbwe Constituency, Chiradzulu, highlighted key areas of focus, including subsidised fertiliser, free secondary education, K100 million youth and women loans, and the K50 million Constituency Sports Development Fund.
The Minister called for patience and unity among Malawians, urging party leaders to embrace supporters who contributed to the party’s re-election, emphasizing the importance of collective effort.
Navicha also stressed the need for the Football Association of Malawi to enhance local talent identification to develop the sport, recognizing the potential of sports in national development.
In his remarks, Joseph Mwanamvekha pledged to continue developing his constituency in areas of health, road infrastructure, and sports, demonstrating his commitment to community development.
The Joseph Mwanamvekha Football Tournament, which started in February 2025 with 126 teams, culminated in White Eagles FC being crowned champions, receiving K400,000, while runners-up Bandawe FC got K300,000.
The tournament’s success highlights the power of sports in bringing communities together and promoting development at the grassroots level.
The government’s focus on sports development, education, and economic empowerment reflects its commitment to holistic development and improving Malawians’ quality of life.
