  I never heard about him but all the same RIP. Now LT, Mkandawire was being courted – NOT being quoted by Napsa Stars – for the 2015 season. What a miserable failed attempt at journalism!

I suspect that something was going on here. How can he ram into a truck surely. But Chaipa mwe! We have lost yet another hero in football.
