The Malawi National Council of Sports (MNCS) Monday engaged stakeholders to review the performance of Team Malawi at the African Union Sports Council (Ausc) Region 5 Youth Games in Windhoek, Namibia. MNCS personnel—together with officials from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Malawi Olympic Committee (Moc) and Team Managers from all the 14 sporting codes who travelled to Namibia— convened at Sigelege Hotel in Salima District. MNCS Chief Executive Officer Henry Kamata said the meeting was aimed at evaluating Team Malawi’s performance at the 11th edition of the Games, which ran from July 4 to 13.
