The 2025 African Union Sports Council Region 5 Games gold medalist was the last athlete with a chance to salvage something for Team Malawi. He said: “We are encouraged that some of our athletes reached the advanced stages in their respective categories. “A predominantly youthful Malawi Queens side finished seventh, which was beyond expectations, considering that it is a new team.” Malawi last won two bronze medals at the Games in 1986 through boxers Chikoya Mphande and Solomon Kondowe. Before that, Malawi last won bronze at its maiden appearance in 1970 again through boxer Tatu Chionga.
