LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, who is also Goshen Trust chairman on Friday, September 29, 2023, made a significant announcement by sponsoring the women’s football league with a generous donation of MK50 million.
The sponsorship is set to run for one year.
The leader of the Enlightened Christian Church Gathering (ECG), Prophet Bushiri, has further shown his commitment to women’s football by donating an additional MK10 million to the Malawi national women’s football team.
This financial support will greatly assist the team in their preparations for the 2023 COSAFA Senior Women’s Challenge, which is scheduled to take place in Durban, South Africa.
Women’s Football Association chairperson, Adelaide Migogo lauded the Man of God for timely sponsorship towards women’s football.
Migogo expects support to improve women’s football in the country
Prophet Bushiri’s commitment to supporting sports in Malawi extends beyond women’s football.
In the past, he provided invaluable assistance to the Malawi National Football Team, offering a substantial MK44 million donation during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Prophet Bushiri’s consistent support for sports in Malawi demonstrates his dedication to the development and success of the nation’s athletes and sports teams.
On 6 July 2017, Malawi will celebrate 53 years as an independent (sovereign) nation and 51 years as a Republic.
It has been a long ride, with numerous various difficulties, triumphs, and losses. However, one thing is certain: we are here and to our credit, have remained a peace-loving country, solid to preserve our identity.
As we prepare to pause and commemorate the day of gaining our freedom from the colonial master (Great Britain, now known as the United Kingdom), as a scholar of history, I find it is always refreshing to look back. This is “look back and take stock,” so that we may appreciate the present and better prepare for the future. What are we celebrating? How did we get here and what happened in the past?
This is a simple country-focus of this daughter of the soil of Malawi.
Kamuzu ndi Nkango, eeheeh, wakawina BOMA la Malawi eeheeh! BOMA lathu! Uyo, Uyo, Uyo Ngwazi! Uyo, Uyo, Uyo Ngwazi! Uyo Ngwazi! BOMA lathu! (Kamuzu is the Lion, eeheeh, he went and won the Government of Malawi eeheeh! He’s our Government! There he is, there he is, there the Ngwazi! Our Government!)

Amidst the sea of dancing women dressed in blue, red and green national outfits, one could see a flywhisk waving in the air like the orchestra director, was His Excellency Ngwazi Dr. H. Kamuzu Banda, the Life President of the Republic of Malawi. Members of the Malawi Women’s League ushered in the Ngwazi into the packed Kamuzu stadium, as all people stood and clapped their hands (Pooh pooh! Pooh pooh! Pooh pooh!). Such was the scene at every independence celebration for 31 years. It was also the picture at events calling on the Ngwazi out of Sanjika Palace of the New State House (now Kamuzu Palace).
Kamuzu Banda: first Malawi President
The first time I saw (or heard. We were so small on the fields of Ndirande football ground and couldn’t see the speaker or his interpreter), was in 1958. As children of the great township of Ndirande, we accompanied our Grand Uncle Duncan Phoya to the playgrounds, where we learned the man who had come from Mangalande (England) was going to speak to us.
As shocked as I was to hear that there was a black person (mutu bii) was going to challenge the white people (whose children –students at St. Andrews Secondary School – used to spit at us as they rode on their horses and we were going to school), I was equally shocked to hear that as this man, Dr. Hastings Dr. Banda who; Kamuzu Banda spoke in English, his interpreter was my father.
