Esther Phiri challenges men to allow wives in sports

Share

WIBF International Super Further Eight Champion, Esther Phiri has challenged men to allow their wives time for sports as such chances were not available in rural areas.

Speaking when she addressed the spectators at the civic centre in Petauke district
yesterday, Esther Phiri said women had a challenge of taking part in  various
sporting activities which were good for their health.

She said more often than not, women in rural areas were inactive in the area of
sports because of lack of infrastructure in the villages.

Esther,  advised women in Petauke to emulate her in her boxing career.

She added that women had the potential to take up activities which the society
thought was for men.

Esther Phiri’s coach, Anthony Mwamba ,said Esther is soon expected to open a gym in
Petauke to allow women access the service.

Esther further said she was proud to be associated with National Milling Company
that is her major sponsor.

Meanwhile National Milling Company (NMC) Managing Director, Peter Cottan, revealed
at the same function that his company will open an outlet in Petauke boma next
month.

He said that his company was opening outlets close to people across the country to
facilitate easy accessibility of the variety of products which included maize meal
and rice.

  1. To all men out there…Esther is starting a potentially life threatening movement!!Very soon the average woman will be a World Boxing Champion and our days of physical dominance are over!!! Soon many men in Petauke will be sipping National Milling porridge through straws because their jaws are broken!!

    You have been warned!

  2. You can take Esther out of Petauke but Peter Cottan CANNOT take Petauke out of Esther. Just help her to invest her fortune. Lets try the modern way, someone should come up with CHANKALIPA SCHOOL OF INVESTMENT somehwere in Zambia to assist train LUCKY CHANCERS who get a chance to have some coins in their account like our now famous boxer. Lotty Mwale had money, he owned a one storey mansion in Lusaka’s Woodlands but later died VERY POOR.
    HELP ESTHER.
