Cycling for MDF veterans

Cyclist Kenneth Msauko Chikazunga Banda is cycling from Lilongwe to Mulanje and back via Salima, Mangochi, Zomba and Blantyre to raise funds for Malawi Defence Force (MDF) veteran soldiers. Banda, a Malawi Red Cross Society volunteer, said he wants to use his cycling skills to help the underprivileged. During the trip, which will cover over 2000km, Banda has been contacting companies and individuals to help the veterans. “The response is good,” said Banda pictured in Blantyre on his way to Mulanje.—Joy Ndovi, Senior News Analyst
