ONE ON ONE with Higger Mkandawire
PK: May you be my guest, please?
HM: No problem my brother!
PK: What are you really? You seem to be a Jack of all trades.
HM: Higger Mkandawire is first a Bullets fan, then the rest follows.
PK: Your best Bullets player ever?
HM: Lawrence ‘Teacher’ Waya.
PK: You brag about Chibuku when on air, do you drink the opaque beer?
HM: (Laughs at length) When I am on air, it is easy to make that conclusion; otherwise, I just go by listenership’s test.
PK: Where is Ben Sawanga?
HM: He is in Zimbabwe. As a businessperson, he goes where there is business. On paper, he is still the GS.
PK: What does your role as acting GS entail?
HM: I am the link between the squad and management. I am also like a public relations officer, coordinating several units of the team.
PK: It must be a double blow for you being also an Arsenal fan as both your teams have gone through a seven-year cup drought.
HM: Bullets problems are purely financial. The Fama Cup could be our first in recent years. Arsenal are not only about winning trophies but also making profits through sale of players.
PK: How true are reports that when working as a lecturer, you are stingy with marks?
HM: At tertially level, you have to earn marks. I do not donate marks.
