Blantyre Published in Saudi Press Agency on 06 - 07 - 2017

Eight people have been killed in a football stadium stampede ahead of a match which was part of Malawi's 53rd independence day celebrations on Thursday.
"Doctors have confirmed that eight people have died while 62 others have suffered multiple injuries," police spokesman James Kadadzera said.
According to dpa, seven of the dead were children, the state-owned Malawi News Agency said on Twitter.
The stampede occurred in the capital Lilongwe as fans pushed to enter the Chinese-built, 40,000-seater Bingu National Stadium to see a friendly match between Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers.
