Malawi based JCTV correspondent, Inkosi Desmond, says the government of Malawi buckled under pressure from South Africa, and have blocked Bushiri’s planned cross over night event which was set for 31 December.

Bingu National Stadium management wrote to ECG Church informing them that the event could not proceed.

Desmond says Bushiri could still hold the event elsewhere if the reasons given by the Stadium management were genuine.

Desmond said there are two other stadiums nearby that Bushiri could use and he could make changes to the event to comply with Covid-19 regulations.

Stadium management said they would not allow the event because of preventative measures for the new wave of  Covid-19.

Also a pending CAF inspection of the facility ahead of Malawi National Football team AFCON games has to happen during that time.
