From political defeat to life lessons: Kamlepo’s message of resilience

By Burnett Munthali

Veteran Malawian politician Kamlepo Kalua has reflected on his experience in the 1999 presidential elections, drawing an inspirational lesson for the youth of the country.

In his message, Kalua revealed that he had garnered more votes than former President Bingu wa Mutharika in that election.

Despite this, it was Mutharika who later ascended to the presidency, leading Malawi and leaving a lasting impact on the nation’s political landscape.



Kalua highlighted a deeply personal connection to that election, noting that Mutharika’s running mate at the time was his late sister.

For him, this unique turn of events underscores the unpredictability of politics and the importance of perseverance.

Reflecting on his political journey, Kalua emphasized that setbacks should never be viewed as permanent failures.

Instead, he sees his own experience as proof that dreams and goals remain within reach, regardless of who may appear to be ahead at a given moment.

Addressing the youth of Malawi, Kalua urged them to embrace ambition and to keep dreaming, no matter the obstacles they may face.

He encouraged young people to seek inspiration in every aspect of life, even in moments of loss or disappointment.

For Kalua, defeat is not the end—it is a stepping stone toward greater achievements.

His message resonates deeply in a country where political and economic challenges often discourage young people from pursuing their aspirations.

By sharing his own journey, Kalua hopes to instill confidence in the next generation and inspire them to remain resilient in the face of adversity.

His words serve as a powerful reminder that life’s greatest victories often come after moments of defeat, and that persistence is key to success.

As Malawi’s youth navigate their own paths, Kalua’s experience stands as a testament to the fact that dreams are achievable, no matter how difficult the journey may seem.

The collapse of Bangwe All Stars: A financial crisis

By Burnett Munthali

Bangwe All Stars has been dissolved due to financial difficulties.

Bangwe was one of the teams that were relegated from the Super League last season.

The owner of the team, Mphatso Jika, has stated that he can no longer afford to keep the team playing in the National Division League.



According to Jika, the lowest-paid player in the team earned K150,000, while some players received as much as K400,000.

He also mentioned that for a trip to the Northern Region, the team required a minimum of K6 million.

Bangwe joined the country’s top league in 2023 and performed well enough to secure a place in the Airtel Top 8 tournament.

Despite their strong performance, financial constraints have forced the team to shut down, highlighting the financial struggles that many football clubs face in Malawi.

The dissolution of Bangwe All Stars serves as a reminder of the economic challenges that affect football development in the country.

Without sustainable funding and sponsorship, many promising teams may continue to struggle, affecting the overall growth of Malawian football.

Supporters and stakeholders are now left questioning what the future holds for grassroots football and how similar teams can avoid the same fate.

The story of Bangwe All Stars is a wake-up call for football authorities to find lasting solutions to the financial struggles of local clubs.

A structured and well-funded football system is essential to ensuring that clubs do not collapse due to financial constraints.

As Malawian football continues to evolve, the need for financial stability remains crucial for both established and emerging teams.

The fall of Bangwe All Stars marks a significant moment in Malawi’s football history, calling for urgent interventions in club financing and management.
