FAM MOURNS CHILIMA

Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has expressed its sadness over the death of the state Vice President of the Republic of Malawi, Dr Saulos Klaus Chilima saying the country has lost a great leader.

The Association said this through a press release after the confirmation of the tragedy when the plane that carried Dr Chilima and 8 other people on Monday went missing only to be found 26 hours later crashed with noone alive.

Meanwhile, the Association has described Chilima as a visionary and transformative leader who placed the interests of the nation above his and that they shall remember him for holding different roles in Football.

"He shall be remembered for his enormous contribution to sports and football in particular. Among others, Dr. Chilima played a crucial role as chairman of the fundraising committee that raised funds for the first ever FAM Cup in 2005 when the country played the whole season without a corporate sponsor.
