National Bank of Malawi has given K60 million to Blantyre Sports Club for construction projects. The support includes building a security fence at the club and repairing its ageing facilities.

Bernard Masi, NBM plc Head of Corporate Banking Division, said the contribution is part of the bank's commitment to supporting the communities the club serves. He noted that the club plays a role in bringing people together.

Blantyre Sports Club Chairman Nathan Nkhata commended the bank, saying the contribution is higher than initially anticipated. The fencing project aims to address security concerns at the club.
