National Bank of Malawi (NBM) Plc has made a significant investment in the Sports Writers Association of Malawi (Swam), injecting K3 million into the organization’s Elective General Meeting (EGM) set to take place this Saturday at Safari Beach in Salima.
This financial support is more than just a donation; it’s an investment in the voices that shape the future of Malawian sports.
Weruzani Kunkwenzu, NBM’s product development and strategy manager, aptly put it.
“This is more than a financial support. It is an investment in the voices that tell the stories of our athletes and shape the future of Malawian sports.”he said.
Swam president Mphatso Malidadi expressed his gratitude towards NBM, praising the bank’s commitment to supporting the development of sports journalism in Malawi.
Despite the initial budget for the EGM increasing from K10 million to K19 million due to rising costs, NBM’s timely support has helped bridge the financial gap.
The Elective General Meeting, expected to be attended by at least 100 of Swam’s 150 members, serves as a crucial platform for sports writers to gather, discuss, and shape the future of sports journalism in Malawi.
