(MaraviPost): Blantyre City Mayor Noel Chalamanda is appealing to Blantyre City residents and all Malawians in general to continue voting for netball icon Mwawi Kumwenda to win the International World Games Association Athlete/Team of the Year award.
Mayor Chalamanda joins a chorus of Malawi Politicians like MCP Leader Lazarus Chakwera who say Mwawi is a pride for Malawi and have encouraged people to mobilize families, friends and colleagues to cast their votes. “Her winning will put Malawi on the world map of sports.
It will not only be an achievement for her individually, but a country as a whole. I appeal to fellow residents and indeed Malawians to increase her chances of winning by casting as many votes as possible.”
In an article IWGA published on its website dated Thursday, January 14, 2016, Mwawi was leading the 18 nominees’ list with votes followed by Russian dance couple Dimitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova with 2,448 votes whereby the third place is currently held by the Flying Disc Beach Ultimate Mixed Team from Germany with 1,570.
The IWGA website says the results were only preliminary since the voting was still on progress after just 10 days it opened with only two weeks to go before it closes.
Mwawi the only an African nominee is among 18 shortlisted athletes from a cross-section of sports discipline across the world whereby the general public through IWGA’s website, will vote for an ultimate winner whose actual prize is yet to be known in due course
