NAM will not resign over Malawi Queens mess at Fast5 – Khungekire
Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) Khungekire Matiya refused to bow to growing pressure of her executive committee to resign following poor results at the Fast5 tournament where the team lost all its games.
Matiya told reporters soon after landing at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) from Australia that NAM did everything possible to help Malawi Queens prepare for the tournament.
“I don’t see any reason for us to resign,” she said.
“It is not the first time the team has done badly. We need just to sit down and analyze the performance and come up with solutions. There are lessons that we have leant,” said Khungikire.
She also said star power Mwai Kumwenda is still part of Malawi Queens setup and will be open for selection for the team which is expected to travel to England later this month.
Kumwenda was expelled from the team after she reported late at the training camp before th World Fast5 series in Australia.
But Matiya insists NAM will not close the door on any player and that the towering shooter is welcomed back to the team if she so wishes to carry national team duties.
“We have nothing against Mwai Kumwenda as NAM. She is a Queen and the door is open for her to play for the national team if she so wishes,” said Matiya.
Matiya was grilled by reporters to explain NAM’s stand on Kumwenda.
She exonerated her secretary general Carol Bapu who has been accused on social media as the one responsible for Kumwenda’s expulsion, saying the NAM executive members made “a collective decision.”
“We work collectively and not on individual basis,” she said.

Match Fixing, These ladies pocketed kickbacks. shame
These ladies are very stupid.
Carol Bapu said she does not want to talk about Mwabi Kumwenda when they were leaving the country and said that the was ready for the competition (Fast 5) and then the Khukungire says Mwabi is still a Queen? How ?
You said you were ready, were you ready to loose five matches?
NAM is arrogant like the DPP govt, chilipo chimene mukupezako ku NAM osati kutukula masewero a netball. Ine ndikanakhala Mwai I can not come back unless you two (Khungekire & Bapu resigns).
mutu wako khungekire, zachamba

You don’t own this country just go.Include men into this management
So arrogant just like DPP government, we expected an apology from NAM ……. you talk as if all is well, this was man-made and you cannot tell us it’s not first time for the team to come home with poor results………shut up!! very dull lady…….. do not forget it’s our taxes……………….nonsense!!!!
Iwe pako, DPP ikukhudzidwapo chiyani apapa?
This the only country where the national teams perform dismally and the so called executive stick to their posts. No wonder we are No. 1 underperformer in most sports disciplines and the arrogance of the executive over an in-house affair has cot the nation the only hope we had in netball. As for football forget..
it is so sad Malawi queens to come up with this results this is what NAM needed where did they take all power to exclude mwai our star and the pillar of ma queens, you have brought shame on our Nation ( who is important between NAM and MWAI ? )
Ministry of sports ili pweeeee!!!.!You must fire these stupid ladies. How can they challenge that they can’t resign and they are saying Mwai is part of the team if she so wish. Thats a shame
