She said she was praying that, this time around, she should get the much needed support from people so that she can claim the award for Malawi.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it would be great not just for me but also for the country to make a mark industry-wise. We need these nominations because they also motivate you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
