Among the clubs reportedly monitoring his situation are Civil Service United, Creck Sporting Club, and a possible return to his former side, Goshen City Dedza Dynamos.
As Gamphani turns a new page, his departure highlights the ever changing nature of football careers, where every ending opens the door to a fresh opportunity.

Kenani thanks Malawians for fighting Amaryllis Hotel sale


By Vincent Gunde

Social commentator Stanley Onjezani Kenani, has thanked Malawians for coming out speaking on Amaryllis Hotel sale saying their fight was not in vain, there is hope.

Writing on his face book page, Kenani said he is  very happy to hearing what the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has done that it has given the Public Service Pension Trust Fund (PSPTF) to rescind its decision reached to buy Amaryllis Hotel in Blantyre.

He said the Reserve Bank of Malawi has instructed the Financial Intelligence Authority ( FIA) to follow up the money saying so far, K76 billion has been frozen or preserved.

The commentator said each Pension Trust Fund trustee has been slapped with a K40 million penalty for which they are personally liable and must pay within seven days.

” The Reserve Bank of Malawi has referred the matter to various prosecutorial authorities to take action,” reads Kenani’s writings on the wall.

Counsel Bob Chimkango writing on his face book has written a food for thought that in their wisdom today, the Reserve Bank of Malawi has frozen the Amaryllis Hotel operating accounts, saying they should not cry tomorrow if the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal orders compensation to the owner of Amaryllis Hotel.

Hakimi Rejects AFCON Title, Backs Senegal as True Champions


By Rahim Abdul

Morocco and PSG defender Achraf Hakimi has reportedly turned down the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title awarded to Morocco by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), saying the decision does not reflect what happened on the pitch.

In a statement seen circulating on social media, Hakimi revealed that his mother advised him not to accept the trophy, stressing the importance of honesty and fairness in football.

Hakimi stated that Morocco had the opportunity to win the AFCON title on the field of play but failed to do so, with Senegal emerging as the rightful winners of the tournament.

He emphasized that football is about either winning or losing, and taking credit for another team’s achievement would be unjust and against the spirit of the game.

According to Hakimi, Morocco worked hard throughout the competition with hopes of lifting the trophy, but ultimately fell short, and that result must be respected.

The PSG star added that accepting a title under such circumstances would undermine the efforts of teams that genuinely earned their victories through performance.

Hakimi openly accepted Morocco’s defeat and urged fellow players and supporters to do the same, calling for integrity and sportsmanship in handling the situation.

He further extended his congratulations to Senegal, recognizing them as the legitimate AFCON 2025 champions following their triumph in the tournament.

Hakimi also wished Senegal continued success, acknowledging their determination and performance throughout the competition.

Meanwhile, reactions from former players and football fans have been mixed, with many expressing dissatisfaction over CAF’s controversial decision to award Morocco the title.

Critics argue that such decisions risk damaging the credibility of African football and could set a worrying precedent for future competitions.
