The Northern Region Volleyball League in conjunction with the Volleyball Association of Malawi (VAM) is leaving no stone unturned in as far as preparation for the event is concerned. VAM says preparations are at an advanced stage.
The Northern Region Volleyball League (NRVL) is all smiles after an announcement by Jappie Mtuwa Mhango to renew the league’s sponsorship to the tune of K 2 million.
Mhango has been sponsoring the league since 2004 and Vice General Secretary for the league, Chifundo Zingunde, told Nyasa Times that preparations for this season are at an advanced stage as over 15 teams have already expressed interest to register.
Minister Mhango : New sponsor
“The league will continue to be called Jappie Mhango Northern Region Volleyball League.
“As NRVL, we believe this financial support is a sign of trust in the executive, and the committee will ensure that volleyball is developed to best standards and results will act as a golden appreciation to the sponsor,” said Zingunde.
Officials from the Volleyball Association of Malawi (VAM) and Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) have been accused of sleeping on duty, arguing that disciplines like volleyball and netball could be the first to start ahead of football.
No netball games
Senior and seasoned sports journalist Mphatso Malidadi said government’s order of gatherings of not more than fifty people should not have been an issue with netball, volleyball and other disciplines.
Malidadi was speaking on
Times Radio on Monday night in a programme called
Times Sports 360 which was hosted by Peter Fote. He said unlike football which may fetch more than twenty people just for one team to face another, volleyball and netball can have just thirty people as a total from both sides that are competing. Tennis and boxing are other disciplines which could have started by now, according to Malidadi.
