We are now partners with Mr Henry Gumedze,\u201d Msungama explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGumedze has great passion for the game just like me. I believe we have a lot in common. I am hopeful that together we will grow big. On my part, I intend to help Malawian players by giving them exposure. As you know, Swaziland is next to South Africa, hence making it simple for our players to move to South Africa teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Msungama added that Gumedze also holds 40 percent.
