Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi National Council of Sports has with immediate effect Monday, February 6 banned Athletics Association of Malawi (AAM) president Godfrey Phiri and general secretary Frank Chitembeya \u201cfrom taking part in, participating in and organizing any athletic events in the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

A statement from the country\u2019s sports governing body, mandated by the Laws of Malawi, says the Council has already notified world, continental and regional athletics governance bodies \u201cnotifying them to cease and desist from dealing with these individuals\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs alluded, no institution in Malawi should deal or transact with the dissolved committee members on any business affairs concerning athletics,\u201d says the statement, issued by Council\u2019s public relations & communications officer, Edgar Ntulumbwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who disregards this notice does so at their own peril,\u201d he said while emphasizing that Council has neither dissolved nor disaffiliated the AAM.<\/p>\n

He indicated that a caretaker committee, led by Justice Kalembera, SC, \u201cfinalised the validation of the draft reviewed constitution in line with the Malawi National Council of Sports Act, Council Guidelines, and World Athletics Constitution, at a stakeholder conference held 2 weeks ago\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cA timetable of events is being finalised that will lead to the adoption of the constitution and the holding of elections at various levels, including national executive committee,\u201d said the notice, adding that all matters concerning athletics in the country to be addressed to the Council\u2019s secretariat.<\/p>\n

Sources within AAM has been complaining that the association\u2019s leadership had overstayed and that they were completely ignoring Sports Council, citing government interference as justification for their defiance.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, AAM suspended Chitembeya on several grounds including abuse of office and a vote of no confidence in him that was passed by the body\u2019s executive committee during a meeting held on March 13, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grounds of your suspension include; open defiance and blatant disregard to AAM working rules and regulations and its constitution,\u201d the letter said \u2014 which ironically was signed by Godfrey Phiri as AAM president.<\/p>\n

It also cited: \u201cWorking unilaterally without consulting the executive committee on critical issues affecting the corporate integrity of the association\u201d and \u201cusurping the role of technical committee on athletes selection to international events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chitembeya was also accused of refusing to harmonise world athletics list of activities funded by the world body and was ordered to surrender all documents to the association\u2019s president upon receiving the letter. An internal audit report for 2017-18, exposed financial mismanagement at the athletics body in which about K50 million was unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Chitembeya \u2014 who was also secretary general of Malawi Olympic Committee (MOC) elected in 2020 \u2014 was involved in bizarre situation when he demanded a fee of R1,000 (about 50,000 then) to issue a clearance letter to enable Malawian athlete Imran Paya to race in South Africa\u2019s Comrades Ultra Marathon scheduled for May that year.<\/p>\n

Imran Paya, who is from Mbulumbudzi in Chiradzulu District but left for greener pastures in South Africa where he took up running as a sport, had been participating in the 90km Comrades Ultra Marathon since 2011 but registration regulations for 2019 event changed where all foreign athletes were expected to only take part if they are cleared by their home countries\u2019 athletics board.<\/p>\n

Upon contacting Chitembeya to ask for the clearance letter after submitting proof of his Malawian citizenship through copy of his particulars on his passport page and an honours list of his awards, Chitembeya informed Paya that his club was expected to pay the 1,000 rands.<\/p>\n

This bewildered Paya who sought for more explanation from Sports Council asking on what basis the payment was taken from. Paya then decided to inform this reporter of the bizarre request and when contacted for an explanation, former Sports Council Executive Secretary, George Jana said this was news to him as he had never encountered it.<\/p>\n

Chitembeya still went on to contact the athlete\u2019s club, by sending a clearance letter and an accompanying demand for the 1,000 rands. However, the letter of clearance he sent had a different name of Peter Chiwaya and not Imran Paya<\/p>\n

When contacted then, Chitembeya was just adamant, stressing: \u201cHave you ever seen a player being cleared free. You seem to be living in the past than present. Sports is a business where institutions\/people invest a lot. Why do they need clearance?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the club, RCS Gugulethu AC captain Nceba Xipu responded to Chitembeya to furnish them with an official request to include the association\u2019s letterhead.<\/p>\n

Xipu had wanted the official letter and letterhead in order to \u201cforward to Athletics South Africa and get clarification whether this is standard practice to pay for athletes\u2019 clearance\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a club, we are not in the position to make the payment and will request the athlete involved to make the payment himself. We just need an official letter,\u201d Xipu had said in the letter.<\/p>\n
