Mighty Mukuru Wanderers Football Club is set to hold an in-house gala to reward outstanding players and officials to celebrate the team’s 2024 season.
Wanderers won the Castel Challenge Cup after narrowly edging out Mzuzu City Hammers 1-0, thanks to Sama Thierry Tanjong’s second-half strike.
The Lali Lubani side finished second in the league behind champions Silver Strikers.
Wanderers Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Panganeni Ndovi said it was important to celebrate the feat, after the club proved that it was heading in the right direction.

Wanderers National Cheerleader Yona ‘Green’ Malunga commended the team’s leadership for organising the gala.
“This way, they will keep the team recharged ahead of next season,” Malunga said.

That season, they finished on third position in the league.
