I am therefore pleading with the beneficiaries to take care of the facility as one way of helping to improve the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this sport to improve, we need good facilities and we are very grateful to Premier Bet for this timely gesture as you know we will be hosting Zone 5 games next year and this court will assist our athletes to prepare well for the competition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Premier Bet deputy Operations Manager Rami Ramia said his company decided to build the facility because they believe that sports has the power to change the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPremier bet projects believe that sports is a crucial platform to help the youth enhance their skills and I am advising the youths to use this facility as a tool to develop and abstain from illicit activities that would jeopardize their future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Basketball Association of Malawi (Basmal) says the construction of the Court is timely as youths in Lilongwe had no such modern court to play the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a timely gift to us because we have been longing for partners who would join us to develop the game from grass roots and this will go a long way in helping to nurture the youth and enhance their talent,\u201d said Basmal General Secretary Peter Gomani.<\/p>\n<p>The company says it will continue giving back to the community and it will next year venture into assisting Netball in the country. This is the second basketball facility to be built by the company. In 2019, the betting company handed over a beautiful Court at Blantyre Youth Centre to the Malawi National Council for Sports (MNCS).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
