We are hopeful that after the meeting, we will have solutions that will enable sports associations and the corporate world work together towards the development of sports in the country,\u201d explained Mtulumbwa.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the matter, general secretaries for some associations have lamented the tendency by some stakeholders of believing that only football and netball can help in marketing their products.<\/p>\n<p>General Secretary for Athletics Association of Malawi (AAM), Frank Chitembeya, told the local media that sometimes politics also creep into the running of sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother problem that Malawi has is that politics also plays a role in the running of sports. Some sponsors think only football and netball can help in achieving their agenda,\u201d said Chitembeya.<\/p>\n<p>Geoffrey Biya, General Secretary for the Hockey Association of Malawi (HAM), said minor sporting disciplines are looked down upon. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that companies look at minor sporting disciplines as less productive. Government also think such disciplines have fewer activities,\u201d lamented Biya. Minister of Youth and Sports, Richard Chimwendo Banda, will preside over the meeting.<\/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.
