Civo United midfielder Nelson Kangunje was probably the happiest person in the TNM Super League last Saturday as besides inspiring his team to a 1-0 win over Mzuzu University (Mzuni), he also won the player-of the-month of June award at Mzuzu Stadium.<\/p>\n
He received a golf shirt, Itel phone, a trophy and K30,000.<\/p>\n
TNM representative Steve Abraham, congratulated Kangunje for displaying an enviable performance the whole month of June in the K90 million 15 -member league.<\/p>\n
Abraham said for a player to get the accolade, he needs to win at least the man-of-the-match award twice or more against other players.<\/p>\n
And Kangunje did just that. He first won it against Mighty Be Forward Wanderers despite losing 1-0 then he grabbed another after beating Silver Strikers 2-0.<\/p>\n
Civo United coach, Oscar Kaunda, said he was proud of Kangunje.<\/p>\n
The midfielder-cum-striker, has scored seven goals.<\/p>\n
Kangunje provided the assist for striker Charles Chilemba to score a goal against Mzuni.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am delighted and grateful to God. This is the first time for such a thing to happen in my life. I will work hard until the Flames\u2019 coach sets his eyes on me,\u201d Kangunje said .<\/p>\n
Civo United\u2019s general secretary, Rashid Mtelera, said the victory over Mzuni and the award, inspired the team which went eight matches without a win.<\/p>\n
Mzuni coach, Alex Ngwira blamed the loss on poor defending.<\/p>\n
Mzuni got a consolation in goal keeper Rabson Chiyenda who won the man of the match award.<\/p>\n
Civo is now on position 10 with15 points from 12 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
