English: Secondly and more significantly, sport can help solidify a politician’s reputation, identity, and social status. It can demonstrate that a politician is, at least on some level, just one of the guys
Chichewa: Kachiwiri komanso kowonjezereka, masewera angathandize kulimbitsa mbiri ya wandale, mbiri yake, komanso chikhalidwe chake. Zitha kuwonetsa kuti wandale ndi, pamlingo wina, m'modzi mwa anthuwo
English: When a politician appears at, say, a college netball game, it shows they share a common passion with the wider public. In the same way a political candidate drinking a beer at the local watering hole has become an obligatory photo-op, appearing at a sporting event proves he or she isn’t an elitist snob
Chichewa: Wandale akawonekera, titi, masewera a mpira wa ku sukulu yawukachenjede, zimawonetsa kuti ali ndi chidwi ndi gululo. Momwemonso munthu wandale yemwe amamwa mowa pamalo omwera mowa m'deralo amakhala chithunzi chovomerezeka, kuwonekera pamasewera kumatsimikizira kuti si munthu wamba.
English: And much like it is important that the candidate knows how to hold the pint glass in the photo-op at the bar, it is important the politician simply acts like an ordinary sports fan at the game
Chichewa: Ndipo monga kufunikira kuti wosankhidwayo adziwe momwe angagwirile botolo la mowa pazithunzi ku malo omwera mowa, ndikofunikira kuti wandale akhale ngati  munthu Wamba wokonda masewerawo
English: Of course, sport, like the bar, has a long tradition as masculine space; sometimes it’s even characterized as a “refuge of masculinity.” This provides yet another barrier to women seeking success in the political realm, which itself can be seen as another of the “last refuges
Chichewa: Zoonadi, masewera, monga komwera mowa , ali ndi mwambo wokhazikika kuti ndi malo achimuna; nthawi zina amatchulidwanso ngati "pothawirapo amuna." Izi zimapereka chotchinga chinanso kwa amayi omwe akufuna kuchita bwino pazandale, zomwe zitha kuwonedwa ngati zina mwa "zothawirako pomaliza."
English: In any case, the manner in which sport provides the chance to connect with communities that bridge political and ideological divides makes it particularly appealing to those seeking public approval
Chichewa: Mulimonse momwe zingakhalire, momwe masewera amaperekera mwayi wolumikizana ndi madera omwe amayambitsa mikangano yandale ndi yandale zimapangitsa kukhala kosangalatsa kwambiri kwa omwe akufuna kuvomerezedwa ndi anthu.
English: This speaks to the third way in which sport is crucial to political leadership. Politicians love to be associated with the fun, positive energy associated with modern sports, not to mention the aura of excellence, excitement, and success
Chichewa: Izi zikukamba za njira yachitatu yomwe masewera ali ofunikira pa utsogoleri wa ndale. Andale amakonda kugwirizana ndi zosangalatsa, mphamvu zabwino zogwirizana ndi masewera amakono, komanso  kupambana, chisangalalo, ndi kupambana.
English: These appearances work toward the creation of legitimacy, likeability, and credibility through the transference of the positive feelings associated with sports, especially those that are popular and successful
Chichewa: Mawonekedwewa amathandizira kuti pakhale kuvomerezeka, kufunidwa, ndi kudalirika kudzera pagawana malingaliro abwino okhudzana ndi masewera, makamaka omwe ali otchuka komanso opambana.
English: Sport provides a public activity that is often as much about the audience as the participants. In doing so, a basis for some sort of common, unified, and collective identity is provided
Chichewa: Masewera amapereka zochitika zapagulu zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala zokhudzana ndi wotenga nawo mbali. Pochita izi, maziko amtundu wina wodziwika, wogwirizana, komanso wagulu amaperekedwa
English: The president also used the event to craft and convey his unique, post-1960s vision of social justice and racial harmony
Chichewa: Mtsolgoleri wa dziko adagwiritsanso ntchito mwambowu kupanga ndikuwonetsa masomphenya ake apadera, pambuyo pa zaka za m'ma 1960 a chilungamo cha chikhalidwe cha anthu komanso mgwirizano pakati pa mitundu.
English: It was a vision that was based upon individual opportunity and a community in which individuals (not groups) were united around a common cause, had equal access to opportunity, and drew heavily if implicitly on the ideals about fair play, competition, hard work, and individual effort that circulate widely within the world of sport itself
Chichewa: Anali masomphenya omwe anali oziwika pa mwayi wa anthu komanso gulu lonse la anthu anali ogwirizana pazifukwa chofuna zofanana, anali ndi mwayi wofanana, ndipo anabwera pamodzi ndi malingaliro okhudza kusewera mwachilungamo, mpikisano, kugwira ntchito mwakhama, ndi kuyesetsa kwamunthu komwe kumafalikira kwambiri mu zamasewera
English: It was a moving portrait, a stirring vision made all the more powerful by the fact that many who heard it thought of it as nothing more than a story about an all-American event and a set of ideals that any and every American could agree upon
Chichewa: Chinali chithunzi chochititsa chidwi, masomphenya ochititsa chidwi kwambiri chifukwa chakuti ambiri amene anamva nkhaniyi ankaganiza kuti si nkhani chabe ya zochitika za ku America komanso mfundo zimene aliyense wa ku America angagwirizane nazo.
English: It does not take a great imagination, only a sociological one, to see that sport is indeed a powerful political platform
Chichewa: Sizitengera kulingalira kwakukulu, kokha kwa chikhalidwe cha anthu, kuwona kuti masewera alidi nsanja yamphamvu yandale.
English: Sport is actively sought as a stage on which to be seen and solidify one’s public identity, political legitimacy, and leadership qualities
Chichewa: Masewera amafunidwa kwambiri ngati siteji yomwe angawonekere ndikulimbitsa kudziwika kwake pagulu, kuvomerezeka pazandale, komanso utsogoleri.
English: Sport is a powerful and important political force. But it is most powerful when people are least aware of it—when people believe that nothing important or unusual is going on; in other words, when the politics are hidden or masked, seen as natural or organic
Chichewa: Masewera ndi amphamvu komanso wofunika kwambiri pandale. Koma amakhala amphamvu kwambiri pamene anthu sakudziŵa—pamene anthu amakhulupirira kuti palibe chinthu chofunika kapena chachilendo chimene chikuchitika; mwa kuyankhula kwina, pamene ndale zabisika kapena, zikuwoneka ngati ndi m’mene zimakhalira
English: For politicians, this means that they must engage in a delicate dance because even as they use sport for a political purpose it is essential that sport retain its status as a somehow sacred or at least special space
Chichewa: Kwa andale, izi zimatanthauza kuti akuyenera kupanga zinthu zawo mosamala chifukwa ngakhale amagwiritsa ntchito masewera pazandale ndikofunikira kuti masewera azikhalabe ngati opatulika kapena malo apadera.
English: For the rest of us, trying to be aware of what is going on in order that we might participate in both politics and sports with our eyes open, as equals rather than as dupes subject to the manipulation and exploitation of others
Chichewa: Kwa tonsefe, kuyesera kudziŵa zimene zikuchitika kuti tithe kutenga nawo mbali m’zandale ndi zamasewera ndi maso athu, monga olingana m’malo mwawochitilidwa chinyengo  amene ndi kudyeredwa masuku pamutu ndi ena.
English: All eyes will be on Lionel Messi, the world's greatest footballer, when he walks out with Barcelona in the Champions League final. If you watch carefully, you may see him crossing himself as he strides onto the pitch
Chichewa: Maso onse adzakhala pa Lionel Messi, wosewera mpira wamkulu padziko lonse lapansi, akakhale akulowa  ndi Barcelona pamasewera omaliza a Champions League.  mukayang'anitsitsa, mukhoza kumuwona akupanga chizindikiro cha mtamda pamene akulowa pabwalo
English: On the opposing side, Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been known to pray on the pitch
Chichewa: Kumbali inayo, osewera wa Manchester United Javier Hernandez amadziwika kuti amapemphera pabwalo la mpira
English: Messi and Hernandez are not the only footballers to reveal their beliefs during the pursuit of their sport. Real Madrid star Kaka has often talked about his faith, praying on the pitch and thanking God for his rapid recovery from a broken back
Chichewa: Messi ndi Hernandez si osewera okhawo omwe amawonetsa  zomwe amakhulupirira panthawi yamasewera awo. Kaka yemwe ali katswiri wa Real Madrid nthawi zambiri amalankhula za chikhulupiriro chake, ampemphera pabwalo la mpira  ndikuthokoza Mulungu chifukwa chochira msanga pamsana wothyoka.
English: Other sportsmen, from Muhammad Ali to Jonathan Edwards, the triple jumper, have also spoken about the power of faith. They believe in different theologies, but all would assert they have benefited from their convictions.
Chichewa: Osewera ena, kuyambira Muhammad Ali mpaka Jonathan Edwards, wodumpha katatu, akhala akuyakhulanso za mphamvu ya chikhulupiriro. Amakhulupirira ziphunzitso zaumilungu zosiyanasiyana, koma onse akhoza kunena kuti apindula ndi zikhulupiriro zawo.
English: As Ali put it in the build-up to his clash with George Foreman in 1974: "How can I lose with Allah on my side?"
Chichewa: Monga Ali adanenera pokonzekera kukumana ndi George Foreman mu chaka cha  1974: "Ndingagonje  bwanji pamene Mulungu ali mbali yanga?"
English: Atheists will regard the idea that religion can make a difference to outcomes in sport as fanciful. But it is possible to put aside the issue of whether or not God exists and just examine the impact of faith on performance
Chichewa: Osakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu amaona lingaliro lakuti chipembedzo chikhoza kupangitsa kusiyana kwa zotsatira zamasewera kukhala chongopeka. Koma ndizotheka kuyiyika pambali nkhani yoti Mulungu alipo kapena ayi ndikungoyang'ana momwe chikhulupiriro chimakhudzira maseweredwe
English: I always prepared my game with prayer. I committed all things to God, without worry. These prayers make me calmer and more secure and I forget the fear of losing. It resulted in good play
Chichewa: Nthawi zonse ndimakonzekera masewera anga ndi pemphero. Ndinapereka zinthu zonse kwa Mulungu, popanda nkhawa. Mapempherowa amandipangitsa kukhala wodekha komanso wotetezeka kwambiri ndipo ndimayiwala kuopa kuluza. Zimapangitsa kusewera bwino
English: All of which suggests that religious conviction really can boost performance, but only if you truly believe
Chichewa: Zonsezi zikusonyeza kuti kukhudzika kwachipembedzo kumatha kulimbikitsa ntchito, koma ngati mukhulupiriradi
English: Many believe that sport transcends politics. But it can also be used as a political tool to distract attention from human rights abuses, making sportspeople and fans complicit
Chichewa: Ambiri amakhulupirira kuti masewera amaposa ndale. Koma atha  kugwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chida chandale chosokoneza chidwi pakuphwanya ufulu wa anthu, kupangitsa osewera ndi wotsatira kukhala ogwirizana.
English: This is ‘sportswashing.’ The Qatari government is hoping it can appropriate the positive associations fans have with football to elevate its own status on the international stage and distract from its ongoing human rights violations
Chichewa: Uku ndi 'kutsuka masewera.' Boma la Qatar likuyembekeza kuti litha kutengera mayanjano abwino omwe okonda mpira ali nawo kuti akweze mbiri yake pamasewera apadziko lonse lapansi ndikuchotsa chidwi cha anthu pa kuphwanya kwawo ufulu wachibadwidwe.
English: But what’s so bad about a country with a troubling human rights record supporting or hosting an unrelated sporting competition?
Chichewa: Koma ndi chiyani choyipa chokhudza dziko lomwe lili ndi mbiri yovuta yaufulu wachibadwidwe kuthandizira kapena kuchititsa mpikisano wamasewera osagwirizana?
English: Does watching or travelling to that country to attend the competition make spectators complicit in human rights abuses? And shouldn’t sport be kept separate from politics? To answer these questions, we first need to be clear about what sportswashing is
Chichewa: Kodi kuonera kapena kupita kudzikolo kukachita nawo mpikisanowu kumapangitsa owonerera kuchita nawo kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu? Ndipo masewera sakuyenera kukhala osiyana ndi ndale? Kuti tiyankhe mafunsowa, choyamba tifunika kumveketsa bwino za kutsuka zamasewera ndi chiyani
English: Sportswashing refers to states – sometimes individiuals or corporations – that seek to use sport to bolster their image by distracting from their wrongdoing
Chichewa: Kutsuka pamasewera kumatanthauza mayiko - nthawi zina anthu kapena mabungwe - omwe amafuna kugwiritsa ntchito masewera kuti alimbikitse mawonekedwe awo pochotsa chidwi cha anthu pazolakwitsa zawo.
English: It’s typically not just a matter of hosting games or supporting a national team but rather pumping money into sport specifically to change people’s attitudes about them
Chichewa: Nthawi zambiri si nkhani yongochititsa masewera kapena kuthandiza timu ya dziko koma m'malo mwake kupeleka ndalama kumasewera kuti asinthe malingaliro a anthu pa iwo.
English: Sport is more than just entertainment. It exemplifies what many people believe to be noble or aspirational virtues: discipline, hard work, individual excellence, teamwork
Chichewa: Masewera si zosangalatsa chabe. Zimapereka chitsanzo cha zomwe anthu ambiri amakhulupirira kuti ndi zabwino kapena zokhumba zabwino: khalidwe, kugwira ntchito molimbika, kuchita bwino payekha, kugwira ntchito limodzi.
English: For spectators, sport generates intense feelings of belonging and a shared identity that verges on the sacred; a win for one’s team elevates oneself and one’s whole community. Sport also reaches a wide audience, including people who may not actively follow politics or world affairs
Chichewa: Kwa owonerera, masewerawa amapangitsa kuti anthu azidzimva kuti ndi ofunika kwambiri komanso kuti adzidziwika kuti ndi opatulika; kupambana kwa timu kumakweza munthu ndi gulu lonse. Masewera amafikiranso anthu ambiri, kuphatikiza anthu omwe samatsatira ndale kapena zochitika zapadziko lonse lapansi
English: There’s another upshot of sportswashing: given many people have powerful feelings about sport, if the majority of the news they hear about Qatar is connected to their beloved game, then their feelings for sport can bleed over into their impression of the country
Chichewa: Palinso chithunzithunzi china chakutsuka masewera: chifukwa anthu ambiri ali ndi malingaliro amphamvu pamasewera, ngati nkhani zambiri zomwe amamva za Qatar zikugwirizana ndi masewera omwe amawakonda, ndiye kuti malingaliro awo pamasewera amatha kutengera dzikolo.
English: Once that positive connection with sport is established, it can come to clash with negative associations they have about human rights violations, causing cognitive dissonance, which describes a tension between two opposing ideas
Chichewa: Chiyanjano chabwinocho ndi masewera chikakhazikitsidwa, chimatha kutsutsana ndi mayanjano oyipa omwe amakhala nawo okhudza kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu, zomwe zimayambitsa kusokonezeka kwa chidziwitso, komwe kumafotokoza kusamvana pakati pa maganizo awiri otsutsana.
English: Most people tend to dislike the feeling of dissonance and will seek to eliminate it, often by ejecting one of the dissonant thoughts. Sportswashing nations hope that the ejected thought is the one about human rights rather than sport
Chichewa: Anthu ambiri samakonda kukhala osokonezedwa ndipo amafunafuna kuthetsa izi, nthawi zambiri pochotsa limodzi la malingaliro osagwirizana. Mayiko otsuka masewera akuyembekeza kuti lingaliro lomwe lachotsedwa ndilokhudza ufulu wa anthu osati masewera
English: This is where sportswashing becomes ethically problematic. To the degree that it distracts from wrongdoing, such as human rights violations, it can contribute to the perpetuation of that wrongdoing
Chichewa: Apa ndipamene kutsuka masewera kumakhala kovuta. Kufikira kumlingo umene umadodometsa kuchita zoipa, monga kuphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe, ukhoza kuwonjezera kuchitika kwa zolakwazo
English: Countries are often motivated to enact reforms when they experience pressure from other states, especially large democratic states that are reacting to internal public pressure. If the population is distracted by sport, then public pressure can wane
Chichewa: Mayiko nthawi zambiri amalimbikitsidwa kuti asinthe pamene akukakamizidwa ndi mayiko ena, makamaka mayiko akuluakulu a ufulu wa demokalase omwe akukhudzidwa ndi kukakamizidwa kwa anthu. Ngati anthu asokonezedwa ndi masewera, ndiye kuti kukakamizidwa ndi anthu kumatha kuchepa
English: But just because someone was not aware of, or chose to ignore, the political dimension of the sporting event, that doesn’t mean they are absolved of responsibility. Sadly, sportswashing makes anyone involved in it complicit to some degree
Chichewa: Koma chifukwa chakuti wina samadziŵa, kapena anasankha kunyalanyaza, mbali ya ndale ya zochitika zamasewera, zimenezo sizikutanthauza kuti iwo achotsedwa udindo. Chomvetsa chisoni n'chakuti kutsuka masewera kumapangitsa kuti aliyense amene akukhudzidwa nawo achitepo kanthu
English: There is an even greater ethical weight placed on the shoulders of sportspeople, who are often viewed as role models and whose behaviour can be seen to normalise certain values
Chichewa: Pali zolemetsa zokulirapo zomwe zimayikidwa pamapewa a anthu ochita masewera, omwe nthawi zambiri amawonedwa ngati zitsanzo komanso omwe khalidwe lawo limatha kuwoneka kuti limapangitsa kuti zinthu zizikhala bwino.
English: This is why we place such emphasis on sportspeople behaving responsibly on and off the field, such as in nightclubs or in their private relationships
Chichewa: Ichi ndichifukwa chake timagomezera kwambiri kuti ochita masewerawa azichita zinthu moyenera mkati ndi kunja kwabwalo la masewera, monga m'malo osangalalira  ausiku kapena maubwenzi awo amseri.
English: If a sportsperson accepts money to participate in a sportswashed event, that sets a standard for others. And if they are aware of the ethically problematic nature of their hosts, then this opens them to a charge of hypocrisy
Chichewa: Ngati wosewera mpira avomereza ndalama kuti achite nawo masewera otsukidwawa, izi zimakhazikitsa muyezo kwa ena. Ndipo ngati akudziwa za zovuta za chikhalidwe cha omwe adawalandira, ndiye kuti izi zimawatsegulira mlandu wachinyengo.
English: However, there are ways of pushing back against sportswashing. The first is to refuse to support it financially, such as by not buying tickets to the events or subscriptions to the coverage in the media
Chichewa: Komabe, pali njira zochepetsera kutsutsana ndi kutsuka masewerawa. Choyamba ndikukana kuthandizira pachuma, monga kusagula matikiti opita kuzochitikazo kapena kulembetsa kwa  wofalitsa nkhani.
English: For some, this will mean missing out on watching a sacred sporting event, and it’s important not to understate how big a cost that might be for them
Chichewa: Kwa ena, izi zikutanthauza kuphonya kuwonera masewera opatulika, ndipo ndikofunikira kuti musachepetse kuti zikhoza kukhala zofunikira bwanji kwa iwo.
English: However, if they choose to watch, they can consider how to reduce or nullify the impact of the sportswashing. That could involve informing themselves and others about the true state of affairs, reducing the informational distortion caused by sportswashing
Chichewa: Komabe, ngati asankha kuwonera, angaganizire momwe angachepetsere kapena kuthetseratu vuto la kutsuka pamasewera. Izi zingaphatikizepo kudzidziwitsa iwo eni ndi ena za momwe zinthu zilili, kuchepetsa kufalizitsa kwabodza kwa chidziwitso komwe kumachitika chifukwa cha kutsuka masewera.
English: Sportspeople have an even greater responsibility but also a greater potential impact for good. Some have refused to participate in sportswashed events, such as golfer Tiger Woods, who reportedly turned down an offer in excess of $US 700 million to join the Saudi-backed LIV Tour
Chichewa: Osewera ali ndi udindo wokulirapo komanso zotsatira zake zabwino. Ena anakana kutenga nawo mbali pazamasewera, monga gofu Tiger Woods, yemwe akuti anakana mwayi wopitilira  ndalama zokwana $ 700 miliyoni kuti alowe nawo ku mpikisano  woyendetsedwa ndi Saudi.
English: When states are involved in funding sport, then sport can no longer be said to be removed from politics. Through sportswashing it becomes a political tool
Chichewa: Pamene mayiko akukhudzidwa ndi kupeleka ndalama zamasewera, ndiye kuti masewera sangathenso  kuti achotsedwe mu ndale. Kupyolera mu kutsuka masewera kumakhala chida chandale
English: If we want to maintain sport as a pure and sacred pursuit, then we must consider how we choose to engage with it and how we might avoid or counteract the power of sportswashing to distract or normalize wrongdoing
Chichewa: Ngati tikufuna kusunga kuti masewera kukhala chinthu chopatulika komanso chopatulika, tiyenera kuganizira mmene timasankhira wochita nawo masewerawo ndi mmene tingapewere kapena kulimbana ndi mphamvu ya kutsuka maseŵera kuti tisokoneze kapena kusintha zoipa.
English: We are now five days into one of the most controversial World Cups in footballing history. The controversy lies not in the football that has been played but the way in which the tournament is being used by its host, Qatar, a country with a limited footballing pedigree and a troubling human rights record
Chichewa: Tsopano tili ndi masiku asanu mumpikisano wa World Cup womwe anthu ambiri sakugwirizana nawo m'mbiri ya mpira. Mkangano suli pa mpira womwe waseweredwa koma momwe mpikisanowu ukugwiritsidwira ntchito ndi Qatar, dziko lomwe lili ndi anthu ochepa okonda mpira komanso mbiri yozunza maufulu a anthu.
English: The starkness of this case makes it a useful context against which to explore the relationship between sportswashing and democracy
Chichewa: Kulimba kwa mlanduwu kumapangitsa kukhala kothandiza pofufuza ubale wapakati pamasewera ndi ufulu wa demokalase
English: As a form of reputation laundering, sportswashing works to enhance the legitimacy of wrongdoers and shield them from the negative consequences of their conduct
Chichewa: Monga njira yochotsera zoipa, kutsuka maseŵera kumeteteza olakwawo kuti akhale ovomerezeka ndi kuwateteza ku zotsatirapo zoipa za khalidwe lawo.
English: In so doing, it can embolden a sportswasher to commit further wrongdoings and help perpetuate weak governance
Chichewa: Potero, kungathe kulimbitsa mtima wosambitsa  masewera kuti achite zolakwa zina ndikuthandizira kulimbikitsa ulamuliro wofooka.
English: However, history suggests that such criticism tends to subside once the sport is underway - although at this early stage, it appears the World Cup in Qatar may buck this trend
Chichewa: Komabe, mbiri ikuwonetsa kuti kutsutsidwa kotereku kumachepa ngati masewerawa akupitilira - ngakhale pakali pano, zikuwoneka kuti World Cup ku Qatar ikhoza kuthana ndi izi.
English: The immense size of the sports industry and the power of the individuals involved in sportswashing can leave the average fan feeling impotent
Chichewa: Kukula kwamakampani oyendetsa masewera komanso mphamvu za anthu omwe akuchita nawo masewera otsuka masewera amatha kusiya okonda masewerawa kudzimva kuti alibe mphamvu.
English: However, scholars have recently argued that fan and athlete activism have an important role to play in resisting the phenomenon
Chichewa: Komabe, akatswiri anenapo posachedwapa kuti okonda masewerawa ndi wosewera ali ndi gawo lofunikira polimbana ndi zomwe zimachitika.
English: When fans and athletes draw attention to abuses, particularly from within the emotionally charged atmosphere of a stadium, they undermine this separation and limit the event’s ability to distract
Chichewa: Pamene wotsatira masewerawa ndi othamanga akuwonetsa zoipa za zankhanza, makamaka zomwe zimachitika m'bwalo lamasewera, amalepheretsa kulekanitsidwa ndikuchepetsa kuthekera kwa chochitikacho kusokoneza.
English: The Oct. 10 election has been widely seen as a test of support for former soccer star Weah, 57, who was criticized in his first term by the opposition and Liberia’s international partners for not doing enough to tackle corruption
Chichewa: Chisankho cha Oct. 10 chikuwoneka ngati mayeso chothandizira katswiri wakale wa mpira Weah, wazaka zakubanda makuni asanu asanu ndi ziwiri, yemwe adadzudzulidwa mu nthawi yake yoyamba ndi otsutsa komanso ogwirizana ndi mayiko a Liberia chifukwa chosagwira ntchito yokwanira kuthana ndi ziphuphu.
English: On his campaign trail, he asked voters for more time to fulfill his promise to rebuild the nation’s broken economy, institutions and infrastructure, pledging to pave more roads if reelected
Chichewa: Paulendo wake wochita kampeni, adapempha ovota nthawi  yochulukirapo kuti akwaniritse lonjezo lake lokhonzanso chuma, mabungwe ndi zomangamanga, kulonjeza kuti adzakonza misewu yambiri ngati atasankhidwanso.
English: The minister was responding to a question on whether government is committed to finalize construction of the stadia for the two domestic football powerhouses, having once again been left out in the proposed 2022/23 National Budget
Chichewa: Ndunayi imayankha funso loti ngati boma likufunitsitsa kumaliza ntchito yomanga mabwalo amasewera a magulu awiri amasewera ampira, atasiyidwanso mu ndondomeko  ya  cha chaka cha 2022/23.
English: He said in an interview on Saturday: “The projects will be reviewed and the outcome will be made available to the public as well as Bullets and Wanderers
Chichewa: Iye adati poyankhulana Loweruka: “ntchitoyi  aunikanso ndipo zotsatira zake zipelekedwa kwa anthu komanso Bullets ndi Wanderers.
English: Building stadiums for Bullets and Wanderers was not on our agenda. Nevertheless, we will proceed with the projects. We have not abandoned them, but how we will do that is a subject for another day
Chichewa: Kumanga ma bwalo la masewero  la Bullets ndi Wanderers sizinali pa m’ndanda wathu. Komabe, tipitiliza ndi ntchitoyi. Sitinawasiye, koma mmene tidzachitire zimenezo ndi nkhani ya tsiku lina
English: He said: “Covid-19 and issues of the kwacha losing value means that the battle for resources to go to crucial social sectors will always overshadow the desire to fulfil political pledges made by any previous regime, not because they are not needed, but owing to resource challenges
Chichewa: Anatinso: “Covid-19 komanso kutsika kwa mphamvu kwa kwacha kukutanthauza kuti kulimbilana chuma kuti chipite kumagulu ofunikira nthawi zonse idzaphimba chikhumbo chokwaniritsa malonjezo a ndale omwe adalonjeza kale, osati chifukwa chosafunikira, koma chifukwa chakukumana ndi mavuto
English: Mind you, the past regime talked about building a new stadium in Blantyre and designs of the infrastructure were produced, including the Kwacha Park location yet funds were not set aside for that
Chichewa: Tangoganizani, boma lidakambapo zomanga bwalo latsopano ku Blantyre ndipo zidapangidwa, kuphatikiza malo wochezelapo a Kwacha koma ndalama sizinapelekedwe kuti zitheke.
English: In addition, the Bullets and Wanderers projects, pledged by the past regime, hardly took off before a change of government happened. In other words, it was more of a political gimmick prior to elections than something serious
Chichewa: Kuonjezera apo, ntchito za bwalo la masewera la Bullets ndi Wanderers, omwe lidalonjeza boma lapitalo, siinayambe ngakhale pomwe  boma lisanasinthe. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, zinali zandale zandale osati kuti zikhoza kuchitikadi
English: In December, Bullets unveiled plans to construct their own 20 000-capacity stadium in Mpemba, Blantyre along Chikwawa Road as part of their ambitious project to build the club’s village
Chichewa: Mu December, Bullets idatukutsa ndondomeko yomanga bwalo lawo lamasewera lokwana  anthu 20 000 ku Mpemba, Blantyre m’mbali mwa msewu wa Chikwawa ngati imodzi mwantchito zawo zomanga mudzi wa timuyi.
English: The 13 hectares space, situated about seven kilometres outside Blantyre Central Business District, will also include office complex, two training pitches, hostels, club house and a conference centre
Chichewa: Dera la mahekitala khumi ndi atatu, lomwe lili pamtunda wa makilomita asanu ndi ziwiri kuchokera ku malo Blantyre Central Business District, liphatikizanso maofesi, mabwalo awiri ophunzirira, malo ogona, malo osangalira ndi malo ochitira misonkhano.
English: On why they were planning to construct a stadium when government already pledged to build one for them whose preliminary phase was already done, the People’s Team vice-president Fleetwood Haiya then said: “We are aware of government’s pledge but to avoid being caught off guard, we have thought it wise to build our own
Chichewa: Pazifukwa zomwe akhonzekera kumanga bwalo pomwe boma lidalonjeza kale kuti liwamangira lomwe gawo lake loyamba lidachitika kale, wachiwiri kwa mtsogoleri wa timu yokonda anthuyi Fleetwood Haiya adati: , tawona kuti n’chanzeru kumanga chanthu
English: The use of sport to promote peace and development is not entirely new; the Olympics are a historic example of sport used for a higher purpose
Chichewa: Kugwiritsa ntchito masewera pofuna kulimbikitsa mtendere ndi chitukuko sichachilendo; Masewera a Olimpiki ndi chitsanzo chamasewera omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pazinthu zapamwamba
