I heard with great suprise the news that the formerly Rangeley stadium, now Kamuzu stadium is set to reopen for games despite having dangerous cracks.
Clubs may be saying that playing at Balaka and Kalulu stadium may be as costly as any away game, yes. The fact that they also rely on gate collections, and that they get much at kamuzu than those small capacity grounds, its true. They may even say that at kamuzu they have huge support from thier fans hence probably performing well, its fine. They may cite all valid reasons, but they should understand the fate of losing lives.
Let's remember what happened in Ivory Coast when the Flames were busy losing 5-0 to the host: almost 19 lives were lost, and there are numerous examples to cite on the same.
"take it or leave it, the Kamuzu stadium is too old to even accomodate restricted spectators. Let me agree with mr Musonye who recommended the demolition. you can not sit at the end of the branch of a tree that you are cutting thinking that you are safe. even if they can demacate the no going areas but the terraces are still connected and the cracks are likely to affect the whole".
secondly it should be appreciated by soccer loving supporters that by holding to use the old stadium it will not fasten the government to construct a new stadium in Blantyre. if it gets down, surely the government will respond quickly to your cries. interestingly, when shall we finish to renovate the old stadium with flood lights, or terraces after 40 years of service.
"we would not like to have a nation mourning period from kamuzu stadium victims yet we had the time for prevention. kudumpha dzenje nkulionera patali"
the rangeley stadium is too old. pliz demolish it. it's unsafe. iwill be afraid to watch the games on the terraces i used to sit during my old good days: 1980s.
ReplyDeleteYes football in Malawi will never improve as indicated by the loss at civo stadium to Ghana. let's demolish it and have a new stadium at the same site which is strategically positioned and convinient to supporters. malawi iyeyeeeeeeeeeee.
