BLANTYRE(MaraviPost)—After assisting Football Association of Malawi (FAM) with K44 million and pledging to assist Mzuzu University with K60 million for Library maintenance, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri has seen another begging bowl on his table from Malawi Boxing Association (MABA).

In an interview with the local media, MABA acting General Secretary Eliah Kamphinda Banda said Bushiri is the last hope in their quest to participate in 2016 Rio Olympics in

“We have tried every way possible but it seems there is no opening beckoning us that’s whay we are very optimistic that Man of God Major Prohpet Bushiri can help,” he said.

According to Kamphinda, the body needs at least K23.4 million.

“This is a budget for five boxers, one coach and two officials; and also for camping either in South Africa or Zambia. The games will be played mid next month,” said Kamphinda.

Republic of Azerbaijan, a country which is bounded by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, Georgia to the northwest, Armenia to the west and Iran to the south, will host the event.

Recently, Bushiri rescued FAM by donating K44 million for the national team activities, a gesture which did not go well with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led government.

The man of God has also pledged to support Mzuzu University with K60 million for library maintenance which was gutted by fire few months ago.

Eagles’ perfect start paid them just few minutes into the game as they opened the score sheet through their star Francis Kumanga, sending the PIH supporters into cathedral of silence.

The hosts came wave after wave in the visitors’ half and in the 32nd minute they leveled the scores through Gomani with a beautiful through ball after poor communication between Eagles’ goal minder and his defenders. Few minutes later, Zinjani added another one, sending almost the whole stadium into wild celebration.

The state of affairs remained 2-1 in favour of PIH as the teams went to recess.

Come second half, both teams showed determination from the word go, but it was Eagles that looked hungrier for a goal. They attempted two long ranges but goalkeeper Jamison Bandule was equal to the task.

In the eleventh minute, PIH scored what turned to be the last nail on Balaka based giants’ coffin through Felix Mithambo. The goal boosted the morale of the home side that started dominating the proceedings leaving the Police men playing departmental football.

However, PIH’s defence early honeymoon in the 39th minute saw Eagles’ striker Kumanga taking long range which caught goalkeeper Bandule off guard making it 3-2.

The Balaka side tried to get an equalizer but PIH defended jealously.

After the last whistle, the PIH mentor thanked his charges for playing according to instructions.

In the second round, PIH will take on the winner between Wizards FC and Sayama.
