CHAWINGA SISTERS SET AFRICA ABLAZE AS MALAWI STORM INTO FIRST WAFCON FINAL.
Malawi have rewritten the history of African women’s football, and once again, the Chawinga sisters were at the heart of the miracle.
Temwa and Tabitha Chawinga combined for a sensational display as the Scorchers defeated Algeria 3-1 on Wednesday to book Malawi’s place in their first-ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final.
What began as Malawi’s maiden appearance at the continental showpiece has now transformed into an extraordinary title charge.
The Chawinga sisters struck with devastating efficiency. Captain Tabitha opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before Temwa doubled Malawi’s advantage just before half-time. Algeria pulled one back through Ikram Adjabi in the 60th minute, but any hopes of a comeback were crushed when Tabitha returned in the 76th minute to complete Malawi’s historic 3-1 victory.
It was another chapter in what has become a remarkable tournament for the sisters.
From the opening whistle of their WAFCON journey, the Chawingas have carried Malawi’s dreams on their shoulders. They announced themselves dramatically against defending champions Nigeria, combining for three goals in a stunning 3-2 victory that immediately announced the debutants as a force to be feared.

Against Algeria, they produced another masterclass.
Tabitha brought the leadership. Temwa brought the fire. Together, they brought Malawi to the final.
The achievement is even more remarkable considering that Malawi entered the tournament as debutants. The Scorchers were never expected to travel this deep into the competition, but their fearless football, resilience and lethal attack have shattered expectations at every turn.
For Tabitha, the journey has also been one of leadership. The Lyon forward entered the tournament as Malawi’s captain, while Temwa arrived as one of Africa’s most feared forwards following her exploits with Kansas City Current.
Now, the sisters stand just one match away from immortality.
Malawi have already secured a place in the history books. But with the WAFCON trophy now within touching distance, the Scorching dream is no longer simply about making history.
It is about finishing it in glory.
From debutants to finalists, Malawi have stunned the continent.
And at the centre of it all are two sisters who refuse to stop scoring, refuse to stop believing and refuse to let the dream end.
The Chawingas have lit up Morocco. Now Malawi are daring Africa to believe.
