Netball Association of Malawi has resolved to change the name of the game from “Ntchembere mbaye” to “Mpira wa Manja” over issues of connotation.
The decision is to get rid of the diversity that the sport embraces according to NAM President Khungekile Matiya.
The association feels the previous name had a connotation that the sport is for women with children, something Matiya says is discriminatory.
