One of the country\u2019s life insurance companies, Vanguard Life Assurance, on Friday presented a K250,000 cheque to Thunder Queens netball team.<\/p>\n
Vanguard Life managing director, Noah Mupfurutsa, said they donated the money after being approached by the team that it was struggling financially.<\/p>\n
Mupfurutsa said the money is expected to go towards the purchase of the team\u2019s uniforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud, as a company, to be associated with the development of netball in the country. We believe the donation will go a long way in uplifting the performance of the team,\u201d Mupfurutsa said.<\/p>\n
He said this year, the company is celebrating 15 years of doing business in Malawi as well as the winning of the Life Assurance of the Year 2015 accolade by the Global Banking and Finance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe we need to celebrate the two successes with the communities in which we operate, hence the donation,\u201d Mupfurutsa added Thunder Queens came third in the recently held Presidential Netball Trophy.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s captain, Joana Kachilika, thanked Vanguard Life for the gesture.<\/p>\n
She said the team is facing challenges as it goes into a tight netball schedule in the coming weeks, starting with Airtel Money netball challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a morale booster for us and we promise to work extra hard to show Vanguard that we are the best in netball in the country,\u201d Kachilika said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
