Kaliyapa elected Nomads supporters’ boss
Yamikani Kaliyapa was on Saturday elected Be Forward Mighty Wanderers Supporters Committee chairperson in controversial elections held at the Super League side’s Chichiri clubhouse in Blantyre.

Kaliyapa said his first mission would be to unite the supporters.
“We have been divided because of the polls. I will ensure that we are united again and rally behind the team,” the 37-year-old said.

The polls’ other big casualty was outgoing general secretary Paul Mphempo, who lost to Wisdom Patel.
