He said this after the forward netting a brace in their 3-0 win over Chintheche United at the Maliri Ground in the NBS Bank National Division League to take his tally to 17 goals in the league.

Makonyola said with propet resources, Mtondera is an exceptional player who can benefit the nation.

Mchinji Villa's new coach, Joseph Kamwendo, said it was tough decision to join the NBS Bank National Division League side as he thought people could say it is his step down but he said he doesn't mind what people are saying.

"This is not as football career but it is coaching which has up and downs, like I said it was a tough decision to make but as for me, I'm still young and I still have time so this will greatly help me to develop and grow in the game so I'm not carried away by what people will say." He added.
