INF President, Molly Rhone, proudly accepted the International World Games Association Athlete of the Year Award on behalf of Malawi’s Mwai Kumwenda at a presentation held at SportAccord, in Lausanne, Switzerland this week.

Molly said:  “Winning this Award is not only good news for Mwai but for her country, Malawi, and netball in general.  Mwai has excelled through hard work and dedication to netball and is really deserving.  She is a great role model for young girls and I congratulate her most heartily.”
