President and board chairperson of Mighty Mukuru Wanderers, Dr. Thomson Mpinganjira, has expressed his delight and relief after the team’s Castel Challenge Cup victory.
The Nomads defeated Mzuzu City Hammers 1-0 in the final at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe on Saturday.
In an interview with 247 Malawi News,Dr. Mpinganjira,a renowned business mogul and philanthropist, acknowledged that the team’s triumph is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and technical panel.
“This victory means everything to the team, the technical panel, and the boys. They deserve it more than anyone else,” he said.
Dr. Mpinganjira noted that the team’s poor performance at times pushed him to his limits, but he never lost faith in their abilities.
With the Castel Challenge Cup triumph, Dr. Mpinganjira said he believes that the team can now hold their heads high.
“People have laughed at them a lot, but now they can walk tall. They have had the last laugh,” he said with pride.
The Nomads success comes after a two-year drought without silverware, during which time they faced ridicule and criticism.
