The Deputy leader of Malawi Congress Party who is also Speaker of the National Assembly Catherine Gotani Hara has donated a K5 million kwacha cheque to Mzuzu City Hammers as a token of appreciation for the team’s good performance in the just ended season.
Hara made the donation during a luncheon which she organised for the team at her residence at Area 6 in Mzuzu.
Speaking after making the donation, Hara applauded the team’s management, technical panel and the players for their hard-working spirit despite having limited resource.
She then encouraged the team to work harder next season so that they can achieve more than what they have achieved this season.
Other notable guests who were present during the luncheon included Members of Parliament Mike Bango and Emmanuel Chilijenyina Jere who together donated money amounting to K300,000 to the team.
In his remarks, one of the officials for Mzuzu City Hammers Arnold Malinda, thanked Hara and the other two MPs for recognising the team’s performance saying the development will help to motivate the players to continue representing Mzuzu City well.
Malinda then handed over a Mzuzu City Hammers Jersey to the Speaker as a way of thanking her for her support towards the team.
Despite selling some of their key players to other clubs, Mzuzu City Hammers finished fourth in the TNM Super League and managed to beat defending champions FCB Nyasa Big Bullets to reach the finals of the Castel Cup where they finished as runners up.
