The Karonga Spikers Volleyball Team has appealed to well-wishers to support them as they prepare for the Raiply National Tournament, scheduled to take place from November 14 to 16, 2025, in Mzuzu City.

Speaking in an interview with VoLRadioOnline on Thursday after a training session, the team’s Chairperson, Devilliers Mwale, said the team is currently self-sponsored through efforts by committee members and players.

Mwale explained that despite their commitment, they are struggling to meet all expenses, as the tournament requires funds for transport, accommodation, food, and refreshments for the four-day competition.

He thanked the District Education Sports Officer, Duma Ngoma, and the Karonga District Sports Committee General Secretary, Vincent Bwinga, for their continued efforts to help mobilize resources for the team.

Karonga Spikers qualified for the national tournament after beating Katoto (3-0), Mzimba (3-0), and Mkondezi (3-0), before losing 3-0 to Moyale Barracks Volleyball Team, finishing second in Zone C games played in Mzuzu over the weekend.

The Northern Region will be represented by Karonga Spikers, Chilumba Barracks, Moyale, and Chibavi Volleyball Team, who will battle it out against eight other teams from the Central and Southern Regions.

In international news:

Kenyan President William Ruto,former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ida, spouse to departed Raila Odinga, view the body of the former Prime Minister at Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi today.

Earlier, authorities were overwhelmed by the huge crowds of mourners, forcing police to fire gunshots and tear gas in a stadium.

A BBC reporter at the scene also saw men in civilian clothing beating protesters with batons.

At least three people were visibly injured and one had a serious head wound, the AFP news agency reported.

Mourners have been carrying twigs and palm branches, a symbol of mourning and grief among the Luo ethnic group that Odinga belonged to.

The state funeral will be held at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Friday and on Saturday his body will be transported to Kisumu, a city in western Kenya on the shores of Lake Victoria - his political stronghold.

Members of the public will get a chance to view the body before he is buried on Sunday at his farm in Bondo, about 60km west of Kisumu.

Odinga's body was flown back from India, where he died on Wednesday morning.

In international news:

Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila has announced a movement to "save" his country, after a meeting with other opposition leaders in Kenya's capital Nairobi.

The meeting, held on Tuesday and Wednesday, resolved to rally Congolese to oppose the "dictatorship" of President Félix Tshisekedi, according to a document seen by the BBC.

Congolese government spokesman Patrick Muyaya dismissed it as a "non-event", and a meeting of "fugitives and convicts".

Kabila was recently sentenced to death back home for war crimes and treason.

He rejected the charges as "arbitrary" but did not appear in court to defend himself.

Political expert Czar Kondowe has proposed amendments to Section 65 of the Malawi Constitution to include independent Members of Parliament.

Currently, this section prevents MPs elected on party tickets from switching parties, but it does not clearly address independent legislators.

Recently, several MPs who won their seats as independents such as Fiskani Nyondo from Chitipa Central, Paul Ng’oma from Ntcheu Central, Joseph Malingamoyo from Ntcheu North East, Fletcher Padoko from Balaka Bwayila, and Donnex Mpuzeni from Machinga South West have defected to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.

In an interview with VoL, Kondowe has criticized these independent parliamentarians for joining political party benches in the National Assembly, calling it a betrayal of their constituents.

He has questioned the motives behind their defections, suggesting they are driven by personal interests rather than genuine political convictions.

Kondowe has further indicated that expanding and fully enforcing Section 65 could act as a deterrent to such defections, as MPs would fear the risk of losing their positions if they switched sides.

The future of 32 students at Rumphi Secondary School (RUSESCO) remains uncertain after the school management referred their disciplinary issues to the Ministry of Education Headquarters.

This follows the recall of all suspended students from Forms 2, 3, and 4, who had been suspended for rioting in protest of the transfer of their headteacher.

A memo seen by VoL, shows that authorities have invited Form 2 students to return to school on Monday, October 20, Form 3 students on Thursday, October 23, and Form 4 students on Monday, October 27, 2025 with condition that each student should come with a parent and settle all outstanding fees before re-admission.

However, the memo has also stated that the 32 students of which 28 are Form 4s, 3 in Form 3, and 2 in Form 2 must wait approximately six weeks after the other students return before a decision on their future is made by the Ministry of Education.

The dispute centers around the transfer of headteacher Elias James Sangano to Mzimba Secondary School as students protested against the decision, praising him as a dynamic, hardworking, and highly competent leader.

According to a posting instruction, Mike Kunyenje from Maghemo Secondary School is slated to replace Sangano as headteacher of Rumphi Secondary School.

The Ministry of Education suspended the students to protect school property, which is often vulnerable to vandalism during such conflicts.
