Ramaphosa challenges ANC Foes-“Name the date and l will resign”

PRETORIA-(MaraviPost)-African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa has delivered a bold challenge to his internal rivals, daring them to publicly state the date on which they want him to step down.

Addressing the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) during what insiders described as a tense and heated political session, Ramaphosa confronted detractors directly.

He urged those plotting his removal to stop discussing his exit “in dark corners like cowards” and instead present their demands openly and transparently.

Ramaphosa further indicated that should the NEC formally request his resignation, he would comply immediately, signaling a willingness to abide by party processes.

The dramatic confrontation occurs amid escalating factional battles within the ANC, with some figures reportedly pushing for leadership changes and suggesting the creation of a national task team to replace the NEC.

Ramaphosa, however, insisted that the party cannot operate “mafia-style” and called for lifestyle audits of NEC members to enforce accountability and transparency.

His remarks come amid media speculation that he might resign following the G20 summit this weekend, heightening political tension within the party.

Despite the visible factionalism, ANC spokespersons maintain that the party remains united and that Ramaphosa intends to serve his full term until 2027.

Nevertheless, his daring statement exposes the depth of internal turmoil and pressures his opponents either to formalize their rebellion or abandon their behind-the-scenes campaign against him.

Malawian boxer Mozland floors Moyo in South Africa showdown

JOHANNESBURG-(MaraviPost)-Malawian rising boxing star Mayamiko “Tyson” Mozland delivered a sensational performance on Sunday night, stopping Zimbabwe’s Lancelot Moyo in a stunning knockout that left fans on both sides of the border in awe.

The fight, held at Johannesburg’s Fourways Farmers Market, drew a packed crowd eager to witness the clash between two promising southern African fighters. From the opening bell, Mozland showcased his trademark speed and precision, immediately putting Moyo on the back foot.

Moyo, known for his toughness and resilience, tried to impose his own rhythm with aggressive jabs and heavy hooks.

But Mozland’s footwork and timing proved too sharp, allowing him to dodge attacks while landing punishing counters.

By the middle rounds, it was clear that Mozland was in control.

A series of rapid combinations culminated in a perfectly timed right hand that staggered Moyo.

The referee had no choice but to step in, declaring Mozland the winner by knockout.

The knockout sent the crowd into a frenzy. Mozland fell to his knees in celebration, raising his fists in triumph as fans chanted his name.

The victory not only cemented his growing reputation but also marked a proud moment for Malawian boxing.

Mozland’s journey to this fight has been a steady climb. Earlier this year, he secured a knockout victory over Coresh Mboweni in South Africa, followed by a competitive draw against Vuyo Radebe, showcasing both his power and tactical awareness in the ring.

Mozland himself remained humble after the fight, praising his team and promising more action in the future.

“This victory is for my country and for everyone who believes in Malawian boxing. I’m ready to take on bigger challenges,” he said during the post-fight interview.

Nigeria coach Eric Chelle alleges DR Congo official used Voodoo during penalty shootout

LAGOS-(MaraviPost)-Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle has revealed the reason behind the heated confrontation between him and the DR Congo technical staff at the end of the World Cup playoff final.

Speaking after the match, Chelle explained that tensions escalated due to what he described as suspicious actions by a member of the DR Congo camp during the penalty decisions.

According to him, the individual repeatedly performed actions he considered unusual.

“During all the penalty decisions, the guy from Congo was doing some voodoo… every time,” Chelle said. “That is why I reacted the way I did.”

When asked to clarify what he observed, the coach said the man appeared to be throwing some kind of liquid while making gestures.

“I don’t know what to call it. He was throwing something like water or something,” Chelle added, raising his hand in demonstration.

The incident contributed to the brief confrontation on the touchline before officials intervened to restore calm.

Silver vs MDF Lionesses postponed due to waterlogged pitch

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has announced the postponement of the much-anticipated NBM Women’s Premiership match between Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.

According to FAM, the decision was made after match officials inspected the pitch and found it unplayable due to excessive waterlogging caused by heavy rains earlier in the day.

The association said the safety of players and officials could not be guaranteed under the conditions.

Spectators who had already gathered at the venue were left disappointed as the pitch continued to hold large pools of water, making ball movement and footing nearly impossible.

Match stewards and ground staff made several attempts to clear the water but the continuous downpour made the situation worse.

Both Silver Strikers Ladies and MDF Lionesses had already completed their warm-ups when the match was halted.

Coaches from both camps agreed with the decision, noting that playing under such conditions would increase the risk of injuries.

The clash between the two sides has been one of the most talked-about fixtures of the current season. Silver Strikers Ladies, who have been in impressive form, were aiming to extend their unbeaten run, while MDF Lionesses hoped to bounce back from recent mixed results.

The postponement means both teams now have additional time to revise their game plans and recover key players ahead of the rescheduled tie.

FAM has confirmed that the match will now take place on Monday, 17 November, at the same venue Silver Stadium with kickoff set for 14:00 hours. Supporters have been encouraged to return on the new date in large numbers.

Chakwera to address press amidst post-election speculations

Chakwera with MCP supporters

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Former President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera is set to hold a highly anticipated press conference tomorrow at the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) headquarters in Lilongwe, starting at 10:00 a.m.

This will be Chakwera’s first press briefing since his defeat in the September 16 elections, fueling speculation about the topics he might address.

Chakwera’s administration was marred by economic challenges and corruption allegations, which many attribute to his loss in the elections, even in his traditional stronghold.

His successor, President Peter Mutharika, has been working to address these issues and revive the country’s economy.

The press conference comes amidst ongoing political developments and rumors about Chakwera’s future plans.

During his tenure, Chakwera’s government implemented notable initiatives like infrastructure development projects in Lilongwe, such as quality highway roads.

Chakwera’s MCP had campaigned on a platform of continuity and progress, highlighting achievements in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

Despite his electoral defeat, the party remains a significant force in Malawian politics.

Tomorrow’s press conference will provide an opportunity for Chakwera to share his perspective on the current political landscape and possibly outline his party’s strategy going forward.

As Malawi navigates its post-election period, Chakwera’s words are expected to offer insights into his vision for the country’s future.

The event is likely to attract significant attention from Malawians, political analysts, and supporters eager to hear Chakwera’s reflections on the election outcome and his plans moving forward.
