PICTORIAL: Two suffer in stadium roof collapse

Two soccer fans suffered minor injuries after a roof they climbed on at Kamuzu Stadium partially.

The ever devil wanted the Carlsberg Cup final between Big Bullets and Zomba United on Sunday.

The Nation

saw the fans desperately trying to find their feet as the roof, connecting what is known as the Police Stand and the other open terrace on the left Covered Stand, crumbled.

Southern Region Police headquarters’ spokesperson Nicholas Gondwa on Monday said there were no official records pertaining to the injured fans.

“All we know is what we saw at the stadium that two fans suffered some minor injuries and were treated by Malawi Red Cross,” Gondwa explained.

Stadium manager Charles Mhango said the fans who, climbed onto the roof, were careless with their lives as there was some unoccupied seats close to them.

The stadium was packed by a record crowd and some fans were still seen outside jostling for entry. The Bullets won the match 2-0 through Victor Limbani and Henry Kabichi goals in each half.
