Chakwera even shared a photo of his celebration of one of the Moroccan goals thinking it was the Flames.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi yesterday beat Zimbabwe 2-1 courtesy of goals from striker Gabadinho Mhango. It was the first win for the Flames at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations. The win also kept alive the Flames\u2019 hopes of qualifying for the knockout round of the AFCON.<\/p>\n<p>Following the win, Chakwera posted on his Facebook page a picture of himself and First Lady Monica Chakwera watching a football game and celebrating with the caption \u201cIt is the final score that matters. Well done to the Flames. Malawi is a fighting spirit and a winning team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media users were quick to point out that the president was watching a different game since Malawi used its red kit and Zimbabwe were wearing a yellow kit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZimbabwe lero inavala yellow Jersey. Mr President mumaonela game yake itiyo?? (Today Zimbabwe wore yellow jersey. Which game were you watching Mr President?) I can see white Jersey from your TV,\u201d said one social media user.<\/p>\n<p>Another social media user said: \u201cNo it is the game you\u2019re watching that matters\u2026 What teams were you watching, that\u2019s not Malawi \/ Zimbabwe.\u201d Others demanded an apology from the president for misleading Malawians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President MUST apologize to Malawians for lying that he was watching Malawi Zim game. Zooming the picture, it\u2019s purely a Cameroon Burkina Faso Game. A Pule was watching this played game on YouTube,\u201d said a social media user.<\/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.
