Kukoma Honours Flames’ Pledge
Capital Oil Refining Industries (Cori), through its Kukoma Cooking Oil product, on Tuesday fulfilled its MK5 million pledge to the Malawi National Football Team, the Flames, for beating Uganda and qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations Finals
Prior to the Flames’ last AFCON qualifying match against Uganda last month, Cori promised to give the Flames K5 Million if they beat Uganda and qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Flames went on to beat Uganda 1-0 at Kamuzu Stadium on March 29, courtesy of a Richard Mbulu’s 15-minute header to qualify for continental biannual competition which will take place in Cameroun next January.
