Wives of Malawi Defence Force soldiers have been encouraged to take part in various sporting activities to maintain their health and physical fitness.
Esther Mbalakumwendo, wife to Connel Alfred Mbalakumwendo made the call at Moyale Barracks Volley Court during a joint aerobics session with wives of soldiers from Kamuzu Barracks in Lilongwe.
“As wives of soldiers, exercises are good for our health. Our husbands do exercises and it is important for us to also do the same. I therefore urge my fellow women in the all barracks and the country at large to do sports,” Mbalakumwendo said.
One of the participants during the exercise, Febbie Gondwe from Kamuzu Barracks said her health has improved in many ways since she joined the aerobics club.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Master, the physical trainer has asked Malawi Defence Force to organise similar exercises in all barracks nationwide.
