TNM Super League newcomers, Karonga United, are scheduled to take on Nyasa Big Bullets at Karonga Stadium in a friendly this weekend.<\/p>\n
Karonga General Secretary, Abraham Mwakhwawa, said this was the right time to play Bullets ahead of the 2018 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we want is to mend our broken friendship with Bullets, so that when we play against them in the Super League, there should never be any disturbance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the team\u2019s new signings are showing great character ahead of the club\u2019s third appearance in the top-flight league.<\/p>\n
Bullets Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Fleetwood Haiya, has since welcome Karonga\u2019s offer for the friendly.<\/p>\n
He said the two sides share many things in common, as four of Bullets\u2019 players, such as Chiukepo Msowoya and Maneno Nyoni, originate from Karonga District.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true that we are having a friendly match. Currently, we are working on logistics, but it will surely be played over the weekend. We will come back to confirm the exact date between either Saturday or Sunday,\u201d Haiya said.<\/p>\n
The two teams were at the centre of controversy when they met in Fisd Challenge Cup round of- 16 match that was played at Chilomoni Stadium on October 25 2017.<\/p>\n
During the match, Karonga officials\u2014including Mwakhwawa\u2014 were harassed by irate Bullets fans for suspected juju. Bullets came from 2-0 down to win the game 4-2.<\/p>\n
Following the Chilomoni brawl, Football Association of Malawi melted out a five-year ban on 10 Bullets fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
