Reads the letter in part, “Acting in good faith for the sake of netball, the ex-co decided to step down from the office with immediate effect. This will allow for a new team to step in and manage the game.

“In order to manage the smooth transition, we pledge our commitment and availability to assist in any issues that may require our attention. We wish all the best for the game of netball.”

The Executive Committee which consisted of NAM President, Abgial Sherrif, General Secretary, Isaac Chimwala, Vice General Secretary, Diana Nkhulembe, Treasure, Agnes Chaima, and Vice Treasure, Chauncy Munthali said they are available if needed for a smooth transition.

Ready to support the new leadership

Netball, a sports discipline that puts Malawi on the World Map, has drastically failed to reclaim position 7 on the World Ranking and stakeholders blamed the Association for the downfall.

Malawi National Council of Sports Chief Executive Officer, Henry Kamata has pledged to support the forthcoming leadership financially.

“We have received the letter from the Executive Committee informing us about their resignation,” said Kamata. “This will allow the new team to step in and manage the game. We will ensure that the transition is managed in a manner that does not disrupt the activities of netball in Malawi.

“NAM had earlier communicated of an AGM [annual general meeting], where they were expected to table and address issues that were raised by their affiliates; regional, district and technical committees, and we think they will also handle the issue of a new team to lead the netball family.”
