The president Malawi, Dr Lazarus Chakwera has released his final 29 member cabinet with new faces coming in, others returning their positions while others have been released.
Former sports minister, Ulemu Msungama has been dropped and Richard Chimwendo Banda is his successor.
Sports followers in the country have applauded Chakwera for the decision while others are not pleased with it.
Here are some of the comments from Malawians on new sports minister.
Happy Patrick Kamanga wrote; He failed to respect his duties now back again as a minister after misleading Malawi Police by telling them who to arrest and not to arrest. Malawi sazatheka, he will be doing the same thing to sports.
Joseph Basikolo said; Am glad that Ulemu Msungama has been released from the ministerial position. The young man lacks maturity on financial prudence. There is no way a minister could join the team every time during international games. Dyera ndima allowance leaving his administration work behind…
