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.

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.

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.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s football fans have been left disappointed after Scorchers forwards Temwa Chawinga and her elder sister Tabitha missed out on the final three nominees for the 2025 CAF Women’s Player of the Year Award.
The Chawinga sisters had been among the early favourites following another outstanding year for both club and country.
Temwa enjoyed an impressive run with in America finishing the season as one of the league’s top scorers, while Tabitha continued her dominant performances in France.
Despite their strong credentials, CAF released the final shortlist on Sunday confirming that neither of the Malawian stars made the cut.
The announcement has sparked debate among Malawians supporters and analysts who believe at least one of the sisters deserved a place in the top three given their consistency, influence and international track record.
Football Enock Banda say Temwa’s speed, scoring rate and impact in global competitions had placed her among the continent’s best attacking talents.
Tabitha, on the other hand, has long been a household name in African women’s football, praised for her versatility, leadership and goal contributions both in France and for the Scorchers.
Local supporters have also taken to social media to encourage the duo, reminding them that missing the top three does not take away their achievements or reduce their influence in African football.
Many expressed hope that the sisters will come back even stronger in 2026, especially as Malawi continues to build a competitive women’s national team.

…..Human rights activist demands removal of wooden airport fencing poles and applauds Mutharika’s commitment to equitable national development…
MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-Human Rights Activist Steven Simusokwe has strongly condemned former President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera for what he describes as turning the Northern Region into a “dumping unit.”
Simusokwe made the remarks in reaction to the use of wooden poles instead of metal fencing around Mzuzu and Karonga International Airports.
He argued that such decisions reflect a pattern of neglect and disrespect toward the North.
He has since asked the Second Vice President, Enock Kanzingeni Chihana, to immediately reverse the decision made under the former administration.
Simusokwe insists that all wooden poles must be removed without any negotiations.
He emphasized that infrastructure projects should reflect equal standards across all regions of the country.
Simusokwe has therefore called for inclusive and nationwide development that ensures no region or citizen is left behind.
He further stated that Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika is a man of impeccable character capable of delivering equitable development for all Malawians.
According to him, Mutharika’s leadership offers hope for a more united and prosperous nation.
Joining the call for unity and shared development projects was political figure Frank Tumpale Mwenefumbo.
Mwenefumbo echoed Simusokwe’s sentiments on the need for balanced development in the Northern Region.
He also thanked President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika for appointing Chihana as Second Vice President.
Mwenefumbo pledged his commitment to work with Chihana to advance development in the Northern Region.
He said the region deserves infrastructure and services that match national standards.
The calls from both Simusokwe and Mwenefumbo underscore renewed expectations for fairness in resource allocation and project implementation across the country.
Their statements come at a time when citizens are increasingly demanding accountability and regionally balanced development from national leadership.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-In a significant blow to the United Democratic Front (UDF), several senior leaders have defected to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in Malawi’s Eastern Region.
The joining leaders include regional governor Yaumi Mpaweni, deputy director of political affairs Gilbert Mwechumu, secretary general Janet Gwaza, former director of political affairs Yusuf Mwawa, and former publicity secretary Ken Ndanga.
Speaking after being welcomed into the DPP, Ndanga cited the party’s fulfillment of campaign promises, particularly the implementation of free secondary education, as a key reason for their decision to join the DPP.
Bright Nsaka, DPP Vice President for the Eastern Region, welcomed the leaders, saying their decision was a testament to the party’s growing strength and influence.
The defection is a significant boost for the DPP, which has been making strides in consolidating its position in Malawian politics.
The party has welcomed several high-profile leaders from other parties in recent months, and this latest development is likely to further strengthen its presence in the Eastern Region.
The DPP has also welcomed some UTM district leaders for Mangochi, further expanding its reach in the region.
The party’s growing influence is seen as a major shift in Malawi’s political landscape, with the DPP emerging as a dominant force.
The UDF, on the other hand, is facing a challenging time, with several senior leaders leaving the party in recent months.
The party’s leadership is yet to comment on the defection, but analysts say it is a significant blow to their efforts to regain momentum.
