Dan Chitsulo joins sixth German side

Dan Chitsulo, the longest-surviving Malawian footballer in Europe, has signed for SV Bergrisch Gladbash 09, his sixth German club in over 12 years.

The former Civo United striker-turned-midfielder has since leaving Malawi in 2000 played for FC Köln reserves, VfL Osnabrück, Rot Weiss Ahlen, Rot-Weiss Essen 14 (1) and SC Preußen Münster.

“When it comes to football, it is all good…I signed for them in January after a one-year injury lay-off,” the 30-year-old Chitsulo said on his Facebook page on Wednesday.

Another Malawian footballer in Europe is defender Clement Kafwafwa who plays for Denmark’s First Division side Lolland Faster Alliance. He first moved from the now-defunct MDC United for Holbaek in 2003.

Closer home in Mozambique, Flames skipper Joseph Kamwendo created three goals when his Liga Desportivo de Maculmana opened the Mocambola season by thumping Textile de Pungue 4-0 on Sunday.

Still in Mozambique, Emmanuel Chipatala and Sunday Kamuyamba were reportedly in action as Matchedje lost 1-0 to Gerald Nkungula’s HCB Songo on Saturday.

Moses Chavula was in full flight for Maxaquene as they beat Costa do Sol 1-0 on Saturday.

In South Africa, Robert Ng’ambi’s Platinum Stars returned to winning ways, beating Free State Stars 1-0 on Wednesday to remain third on the standings behind Orlando Pirates and leaders Kaizer Chiefs. In other midweek matches in South Africa, Limbikani Mzava manned Bloemfontein Celtic defence in their 1-1 draw with the University of Pretoria
