Military duties affect Simkonda’s loan move to BB
In a latest development, Moyale talisman Gastin Simkonda will not join Big Bullets (BB) on loan as it has transpired that he is among those going on a peacekeeping mission in DR Congo soon.
Bullets general secretary Harold Fote yesterday said they got communication from Malawi Defence Force (MDF) authorities at the weekend that only Kamuzu Barracks playmaker Harvey Nkacha will be loaned out to them.
“They [MDF] were prepared to release both, but after further consultation, it has transpired that Simkonda will not make it. So, we will have to do with Nkacha and we are not complaining as we already have a number of good strikers,” said Fote.
This means Bullets have only made two additions to their initial squad for the continental showcase having also signed striker ChiukepoMsowoya as a free agent.
Bullets are slated to face Club Fomboni on February 14 away in the Comoros in their preliminary round first leg.
