LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Police in Lilongwe have arrested a fervent football fan for acts deemed intended to cause grievous harm after he accidentally dropped a five-year-old boy while throwing him in the air in celebration of Wanderers FC’s defeat to Mzuzu City Hammers.
Speaking with MaraviPost publication, Lilongwe Police Inspector Hestings Chigalu said the incident occurred on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at around 17:00 hours at Shire Bus Depot in the capital.
The suspect has been identified as Oscar Wiga, 29 years old.
The child was with his mother at the bus terminal waiting to board a bus destined for Blantyre when Oscar, who was caught up in the euphoria following Mighty Wanderers FC’s unexpected loss to Mzuzu City Hammers, seized a five-year-old child from his mother and began tossing him high into the air while cheering.
However, on the third throw, amid the thrilling laughs and cheers that filled the air, Oscar’s grip faltered.
The child slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, landing with considerable force , causing immediate concern and alarm.
The boy was rushed to Bwaila District Hospital, where he was treated for injuries he sustained during the fall.
The victim’s mother, who, despite having already purchased her travel ticket, was unable to continue with her journey to Blantyre due to the distressing circumstances.
Oscar, who does not share any relationship with the victim’s family, has since been charged with Acts Intended to Cause Grievous Harm.
He comes from Koloko Village, Traditional Authority Mlumbe in Zomba District.

December 8 2025: Global investors looking toward 2026 are beginning to see a set of structural forces that are grounded in observable economic reality rather than optimism alone, affirms the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory organizations.
The year ahead, says deVere Group’s Nigel Green, is defined by three credible tailwinds.
“Markets reward evidence over enthusiasm,” Nigel Green says. “As 2026 approaches, investors are increasingly distinguishing between stories and substance.”
The first tailwind is the persistence of global economic growth that is broader than in recent years, even if it remains uneven.
“Current projections continue to point toward expansion rather than contraction, with resilience in the US, gradual improvement across Europe, and ongoing structural growth in parts of Asia.
“Large-scale fiscal spending linked to infrastructure, defence, supply-chain security and strategic industrial policy continues to filter through economies with long lags, providing a steady underpinning for activity,” explains the deVere CEO.
He stresses that this environment doesn’t require rapid growth to support markets.
“Markets respond to durability,” he says. “When growth proves persistent rather than fragile, earnings expectations stabilize and capital becomes more willing to take risk. Broader participation across regions matters far more than headline growth rates.”
He adds that this backdrop historically supports equities, selective credit and globally exposed companies, while reducing the over-concentration risk seen when returns rely on one dominant region.
The second tailwind is the transition of AI and automation from hype to hard numbers.
“After an initial phase dominated by capital spending and valuation expansion, 2026 is shaping up as a period where scrutiny intensifies. Investors are increasingly focused on profit checks, cash flow contribution and operational delivery, rather than future promise alone.”
Nigel Green says this shift is critical.
“Markets are demanding proof,” he explains. “Companies talking about AI without showing returns will struggle. Those that can demonstrate margin improvement, cost reduction or revenue scalability will attract capital.”
He notes that AI adoption is no longer confined to a small group of technology leaders. Productivity gains are beginning to emerge across healthcare, logistics, manufacturing and financial services, where automation, data optimization and intelligent systems are improving efficiency and decision quality.
“This phase favours execution,” Nigel Green says. “Businesses that integrate tech into core operations, rather than showcasing it, are the ones that will stand out. Hype fades quickly when profit delivery is absent.”
He adds that even modest but widespread productivity gains can accumulate into meaningful economic support over time, strengthening profitability without relying on excessive pricing power or leverage.
The third tailwind is the return of diversification as a meaningful contributor to performance.
The deVere chief executive comments: “For much of the past decade, global returns have been dominated by a narrow segment of US assets, diminishing the effectiveness of diversified portfolios.
“This dynamic is beginning to change. Valuations across regions are less stretched, real yields in parts of fixed income are more compelling than in recent years, and commodities and other real assets are regaining relevance amid geopolitical tension and industrial re-shoring.
Nigel Green emphasises that diversification does not imply uniform gains.
“Dispersion is increasing,” he says. “Some assets will perform well, others will not. Investors who rely on broad exposure alone may be disappointed. Selectivity becomes critical.”
He also highlights the growing importance of currency movements in a less concentrated global environment.
“When growth becomes more distributed, currencies begin to matter again as a source of return and risk,” Nigel Green says.
“These tailwinds do not eliminate risk,” Nigel Green says. “They provide structure. Growth resilience, measurable innovation and renewed diversification are beginning to align.”
He concludes: “Investors who approach 2026 with realism, global awareness and disciplined analysis are better positioned than those chasing narratives.”

LONDON-(MaraviPost)-The family of the late former Flames striker, Esau ‘Black Mamba’ Kanyenda, has clarified that the decision to bury him in England is not due to financial challenges but rather a matter of practicality and emotional closeness for his children.
Contrary to rumours circulating on social media, the family insists that they are not struggling to repatriate the body to Malawi.
Family spokesperson Peter Makossah said the children of the late football icon unanimously chose United Kingdom as their father’s final resting place because it is the only home they have known for years.
All of Kanyenda’s children live in the United Kingdom and they want the burial site to be easily accessible to them.
Makossah noted that many people have been calling to offer financial support, assuming the family could not afford to transport the body to Malawi.
He said while the family appreciates the goodwill, the situation has been misunderstood. He stressed that the issue is not money but the children’s desire to have their father’s grave within reach.
“In the UK, visiting a grave is simple. There are no traditional restrictions or requirements to seek approval before going,” Makossah explained.
“The children want to honour their father in a way that allows them to visit his resting place whenever they feel emotionally ready,”he added.
He further highlighted that if the late football legend were buried in Malawi, his children would struggle with long-distance travel, both financially and emotionally.
According to the family, Kanyenda was very close to his children and burying him near them is the best way to preserve that bond even after death.
Although the family has already agreed on the burial location, Makossah said the exact date of the funeral has not yet been set. This is because medical specialists in the UK are still completing a thorough postmortem examination to document the cause of death, which is a standard procedure in such cases.
The funeral is therefore expected to take place sometime in January next year, after all medical and legal formalities have been finalised. The family has assured the public that they will communicate the official funeral programme once everything is confirmed.
Esau Kanyenda passed away last week at the age of 43 after battling liver cancer.
His death has shaken the football fraternity, as he was widely celebrated for his sharp scoring ability and his remarkable contribution to the Malawi national football team, the Flames.
Throughout his career, Kanyenda became a household name, playing both locally and internationally.
He left a legacy that inspired many young football players who saw him as proof that talent, discipline and determination can take a Malawian athlete onto the world stage.
