Four injured at Kamuzu Stadium

Four people were reported injured at Kamuzu Stadium during the match between Big Bullets and Fomboni FC after a dilapidated structure—near the MBC Stand—collapsed.

The victims were all male. One of them sustained a cut at the back while three others had minor injuries.

According to a steward, Elias Debwe, who was at the scene when it occurred, the victims were rushed to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH).

According to Debwe, the structure collapsed as many people had climbed onto it to have a vintage view of the game.

“The structure was old and dilapidated, but still some people decided to climb on it, causing it to fall,” said Debwe.

Police were not readily available for comment.
