Mighty Mukuru Wanderers said Chimwemwe Nkhoma signed with them, but Bangwe All Stars showed a contract Chimwemwe signed with them last year. The contract says Chimwemwe signed to play with Bangwe All Stars for two years, starting from January 1, 2024. Christopher Nyambose, the coach for Bangwe, witnessed the signing.

Bangwe All Stars said Chimwemwe left them on February 22, 2024, saying he was sick, and went to his hometown, Mzuzu. They said they already got clearance papers from his old team, Mayamiko Stars.

Bangwe All Stars complained to the Football Association of Malawi about this. It's strange because Steve Madeira, who helped bring Chimwemwe to Wanderers, was with Bangwe when Chimwemwe signed with them. Mighty Mukuru Wanderers haven't said anything about this yet.
