She leaves the stage proud of her contributions and wishes her successor all the best
Incumbent Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) general secretary, Carol Bapu has declared that she is not contesting for re-election at the elective annual general meeting (AGM).
Instead she leaves the race for legendary Malawi Queens player, Linda Magombo-Munthali, who is up against marketer Isaac Chimwala for the polls which were scheduled for Saturday, May 29 in Salima but have been postponed.
Carol Bapu: not contesting
Bapu, who has served two terms of 4 years each, came into national netball association having served as vice-chairperson for Southern Region Netball Committee and chairperson for Southern Region Umpires Committee.
The proposal by the Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) to have a second vice president in its set up has hit a snag as regional delegates turned it down.
Carol Bapu:There was need to consult
NAM was meeting regional netball committees in Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu (Ekwendeni) last weekend to sell the idea among other issues. Had the regional delegates welcomed the idea, the constitution for the Malawi netball governing body would have later been amended to incorporate the position of second vice president.
According to NAM, the second vice president was going to be responsible for technical issues like trainings for umpires, selection of team managers for national teams and training of coaches.
