Time for everything. Time to be
born and time to die, time to
love and time to hurt, that's the
story of one of prolific striker,
Ganizani AKA M’bobo Njoka
Malunga.
Malawi in recent times, has produced great
footballers and Ganizani happen to be one
of them.
The former flames international player, was
born on 21st august, 1978 and was raised in
the commercial city of Malawi, Blantyre.
“I started my Football career in 1992 at
Ronolain Blantyre (BCA),before joining
Admarc youth (tigers).
"Then i was promoted to the senior team
in 1996 with late Felix Nyirongo, played with
tigers for only one season. The following
season I went to join Silver Strikes in
Lilongwe".
His dream was totally to play for big bullets,
(Nyasa big bullets now).
"I left sliver strikes and opt of going back to
Blantyre with the influence of Peter Mponda
and Mac Donald Yobe. I joined Big Bullets in
2001.
I remember my first game was in Mzuzu
against Moyale barracks and scored a goal
with assistance from late Bauleni," Mbobo
said.”
He added that, 2003/2004 was the best
season ever in his football career.
"I scored 28 goals, which I believe that up to
now nobody has done it in our Super League.
It is the time when our President, then Dr
Bakili Muluzi, took over the ownership of
Bullets," Malunga recalls.
Mbobo says he travelled to England where
he met with David Beckman and Sir Alex
Ferguson for their pre-training in preparation
for the CAF champions match with Orlando
Pirates which ended in favour of bullets.
Seventeenteen years down the line, no one
has reached his goal scoring mark making
him the all time Super League top goal scorer.
