Mhango was supposed to meet his teammates in Addis Ababa but missed a flight from Or Tambo, South Africa to Ethiopia on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The Moroka Swallows striker hinted that flights from South Africa to Liberia are available every day. \u201cIndeed, I missed the flight on Sunday. At first, I thought my flight was at 1 pm but after I arrived at the Airport, I was told the flight was at 11 am,\u201d Mhango said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mhango, a return ticket from Johannesburg to Liberia costs about R40,000 (about MK4 million). Goalkeeper Brighton Munthali joined the rest of the team at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, en route to Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Flames are on their way to Liberia for this Friday\u2019s match. The team left Bole International Airport on Tuesday morning, November 14, 2023. The Flames will host Tunisia at Bingu National Stadium on Tuesday.<\/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.
