FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Reserve Players Cry Over Welfare

By Shaffie A Mtambo


The FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Football Club Reserve players are facing a tough time, with many complaining about their welfare. The situation has become so dire that some players are forced to walk long distances to get to training sessions and matches. Yesterday, before their match against Ekhaya United, one player was spotted walking from Kwakubaluti to Mpira Stadium.

The players, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed to us that they have gone five weeks without receiving their transport and training allowances. This has made it difficult for them to meet their basic needs, let alone focus on their football careers. The lack of support from the club has left the players feeling frustrated and demotivated.

The situation is not only affecting the players’ well-being but also their performance on the pitch. Without proper support, the players are struggling to give their best, which is reflected in the team’s recent results. The players are calling on the club’s management to take their welfare seriously and provide them with the necessary support to excel in their careers.

Yesterday’s match against Ekhaya United was a clear indication of the players’ dissatisfaction with their welfare. After the match, the players walked to their homes, a sign of protest against the club’s management. The players are hoping that their actions will prompt the management to take their concerns seriously and address their welfare issues.

Minister of Labour Vitumbiko Mumba closes down CP Feeds Company

By Linda Kwanjana

Minister of Labour Vitumbiko Mumba has today directed management of CP Feeds Company which manufactures chicken feeds in Lilongwe to close down its operations in order to rectify all the gray areas which are hazardous to human health.

Speaking during the meeting Mumba emphasized the need to close the company first and allow the management to rectify all the gray areas.

Mumba observed that workers at the factory are working without safety boots and that on top of that some workers work with no masks which is very dangerous to their health.

“Basically there is manipulation of labour laws, they are not adhering to the regulations of health safety for the workers, that’s why, and their conduct is very bad, so we can’t give them days to rectify, but let us close the company, the operations, and to show your time, they are able to demonstrate that they are able to meet the minimum requirements as far as health and safety associated for the workers,’ he said.

Mumba said its sad that the whole company can have only one toilet for the ladies this is putting people at risks.

The Minister said he has received alot of reports regarding these allegations but the right time is finally here.

Mumba said the President of Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera will ensure people are working in good condition.

The Minister has since ordered that the company should compile all names of people working as expatriates because it has been reported that some people of Indian orgins are working as security guards and others working on jobs which can be done by Malawians.

During the meeting , company representatives pledged to rectify all the areas which the Minister has tackled.

Israel and Hamas Finalize Ceasefire Deal: Hostages to be Released, Fighting to Pause in Gaza

By Twink Jones Gadama

In a significant development, Israel and Hamas have finalized a deal to pause the war and release hostages, marking a crucial step towards ending the devastating conflict in Gaza.The agreement, brokered by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, is expected to be signed in the coming hours, with Israel’s security cabinet set to meet on Thursday to formally approve the deal.

The agreement, brokered by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, is expected to be signed in the coming hours, with Israel’s security cabinet set to meet on Thursday to formally approve the deal.

According to the terms of the agreement, the ceasefire will begin on Sunday, with the release of 33 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The first phase of the deal will last six weeks, during which time Israel and Hamas will discuss the details of a second phase, aimed at achieving a final end to the war in Gaza.

Celebrations erupted across Gaza as news of the agreement spread

The deal has been welcomed by Israeli officials, who have expressed gratitude for the role played by the Biden administration in securing the agreement.

However, some have credited President-elect Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas, warning of “all hell to pay” if the hostages are not released, as a key factor in securing the deal.

The agreement marks a significant breakthrough in efforts to end the conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of over 46,000 Palestinians and the displacement of an estimated 90% of Gaza’s population. The deal also includes provisions for a major influx of humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has been ravaged by 15 months of war.

While the agreement is a significant step forward, many questions remain about the long-term implications of the deal.

Hamas has demanded assurances of a permanent end to the war and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, while Israel has insisted that it will not halt the war until Hamas’ military and governing capabilities are destroyed.

Despite these challenges, the agreement offers a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the conflict. As one Palestinian father, Abed Radwan, exclaimed, “The best day in my life and the life of the Gaza people… Thank God. Thank God”.

The international community has welcomed the agreement, with U.S. President Joe Biden praising the deal as a significant step towards peace.

The agreement is also seen as a major achievement for President-elect Trump, who has made ending the conflict a key priority.

As the deal is implemented, attention will turn to the next phase of negotiations, aimed at achieving a final end to the war in Gaza.

While challenges remain, the agreement offers a significant breakthrough in efforts to end the conflict and bring peace to the region.
