…Civil 3-1 Eagles

LILONGWE -(MaraviPost)-Civil Service United FC on Sunday continued with a splendid run in the league this season as they registered another emphatic 3-1 home victory over Blue Eagles to complete a double this season at Civo Stadium.

Civil Service started brightly and created their first chance in the 7th minute when Righteous Banda unleashed a thunderous shot.

Elias Missi parried it away, but the ball ricocheted off defender Sankhani Mkandawire, struck the upright, and was caught by Missi at the second attempt.

Head coach Deklek Msakakuona was forced into an early substitution in the 15th minute when right-back Davie Malenguka experienced dizziness and required medical attention. He was replaced by Trouble Banda.

Civil Service continued to press. In the 25th minute, Khumbo Mhone floated a cross from the right flank, and Righteous Banda’s powerful shot deflected off Laurent Banda for a corner which Eagles defended successfully.

At the half-hour mark, the home side won another corner after Ganizani James deflected the ball out. Damiano Kunje’s delivery was cleared by Maxwell Gustavo.

Moments later, Lanken Mwale found Sankhani Mkandawire with a free kick from the far right, but Mkandawire’s glancing header hit the side netting in the 33rd minute.

Eagles had their best chance in the 35th minute when Lanken Mwale, set through by Gilbert Chirwa, forced a save from goalkeeper Rahaman John.

In the 42nd minute, Chikaiko Batison headed wide from a dangerous cross by Kunje.

However, three minutes into added time, Batison made no mistake, heading home Charles Mafaiti’s swinging cross from the byline to give Civil Service a 1-0 lead at the break.

Civil Service came out with greater intensity and dominated the midfield.

In the 54th minute, the hosts completed 13 passes before Kunje curled a cross to Dastain Banda, whose effort found the net to make it 2-0.

Just four minutes later, Civil Service extended their lead.

Frank Chizuze capitalized on a defensive error, connecting with a Chikaiko Batison pass to make it 2-0 in the 58th minute.

Coach Msakakuona responded immediately with a double substitution in the 59th minute, bringing on Micium Mhone and Tonic Viyuyi for Webster Mzunda and Lanken Mwale.

Eagles kept pushing for goals but struggled to maintain possession as Civil Service controlled the tempo.

The visitors lacked fluidity in their play and continually lost the ball in midfield.

Substitute Micium Mhone pulled one back in the 74th minute.

Laurent Banda delivered a high ball into the box, and after both Mkandawire and defender, Dambuleni failed to deal with it, Mhone pounced on the loose ball and unleashed a powerful shot into the net.

Just as Eagles hoped to mount a comeback, they conceded again in the 79th minute.

Dastain Banda beat Sankhani Mkandawire with a clever dummy before slotting past Missi into an empty net to restore the three-goal cushion at 3-1.

Eagles made further changes, with John Banda and Arthur Moffat replacing Maxwell Gustavo and Gilbert Chirwa as the formation switched from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2.

While Banda helped stabilize the midfield, the changes came too late.

Pius Saka received a yellow card in the 90th minute for a foul on Kunje.

In the closing minutes, Eagles pressed with urgency but lacked the precision needed to threaten the Civil Service goal.

The final whistle confirmed a disappointing defeat and completed a league double for Civil Service, who also won 2-0 at Nankhaka Stadium in the first round.

Civil Service United Assistant coach Joseph Kachuke praised his boys for executing the game plan well, “The boys followed what we told them to do hence the victory.

“We are very grad we haven’t lost any game since June this just tells you that our players are focused and following what they are being told during training”, said Kachule.

His counterpart Blue Eagles FC Head Coach, Deklek Msakakuona said: “We have ten games remaining before we wrap up the season, and we will assess how to approach and finish the league.

“Conceding those two goals in the first and second half demoralized us, but we must prepare for our next assignment on Wednesday at home.”

With the victory the servants are now on position 5 with 36 points tied with the defending Champions who have two games in hand as Civil has played more, 20.

Despite the loss, Eagles remain in 7th position with 28 points from 20 games.

The team’s next match is against Mighty Wanderers FC at home at Nankhaka Stadium on Wednesday.

Wanderers defeated the cops 3-1 at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre during the first round.

Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick enjoyed a fun night on the town!

Jagger, 82, and his fiancée Hamrick, 38, made a rare appearance at the British Museum Ball in London on Saturday, October 18. The pair were all smiles while walking the red carpet and posing for photos. The Rolling Stones frontman wore a blue and black jacket for the occasion, while Hamrick shined in a golden gown adorned with floral details.

While speaking exclusively to Us in May, Hamrick explained there are several big reasons why she and Jagger keep their relationship out of the public eye, but the most important is that to her it’s worth protecting. She also compared the decision to her time as a professional ballet dance.

“I think family is so personal, and it’s a bubble,” she said.“It’s nice to share things, but it’s like the ballet: there needs to be a mystery or people are going to get sick of you.”

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s Relationship Timeline

Hamrick confirmed to Paris Match in April that she and Jagger are engaged, noting that the rock star proposed “two or three years ago” despite the fact that they didn’t share the news widely.

“Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not,” Hamrick said. “We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything.”

The duo first met back in 2014 in Tokyo, where Hamrick was performing alongside the rest of the American Ballet Theatre and the Rolling Stones were performing. They began dating in 2015, and their pairing immediately drew attention due to their 44-year age gap.

“I don’t think about it. Everyone’s going to have their opinion. If you think about others’ opinions, no matter where you are in life, you’re going to have a problem and you’re going to analyze it,” Hamrick told The Sunday Times in September 2024. “I put the blinders on. Am I happy? Yes. Are the people in my life happy? Yes. Am I hurting anyone? No. OK, they can mind their own business.”

Hamrick also revealed she wasn’t especially phased by Jagger when they met. “Ballet dancers meet some of the biggest stars and act, like, ‘Who are you?’ Because, to us, ballet dancers are the gods. That’s who you study and look up to. You’re so in your world,” Hamrick explained.

Though they haven’t yet walked down the aisle, the pair have made other commitments to one another. Their son Deveraux — the rock star’s eighth child and Hamrick’s first — joined the family in December 2016.

“Melanie Hamrick and Mick Jagger’s son was born today in New York, and they are both delighted,” Jagger’s rep told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Mick was at the hospital for the arrival. Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time.”

The rocker is also the father of daughter Karis, 54, with ex Marsha Hunt; daughter Jade, 53, with ex-wife Bianca Jagger; daughters Elizabeth, 41, and Georgia May, 33, and sons James, 40, and Gabriel, 27, with ex Jerry Hall; and son Lucas, 26, with ex Luciana Gimenez. He also has four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Fiancés Callum Turner and Dua Lipa are lucky in love — so much so that they can conquer long-distance dating with ease.

“Well, FaceTime is a wonderful thing, and the other rule is that it’s never not worth it — that’s our slogan,” Turner, 35, told The Times of London in a profile published on Saturday, October 18. “If you can go for two days, just f***ing go, and if you’re tired, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to have a nice time and have a nice memory.”

Turner further revealed that he recently jetted off to Boston for a two-day trip just to catch up with Lipa, 30, in between her tour and his filming commitments.

“I was exhausted, but we had a really nice time. We went to an incredible restaurant, Neptune or something — I always forget the name of places,” Turner recalled to the outlet. “Thank God for her because she remembers everything. It was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life, and I did it with her so I’m glad I went.”

The Eternity star and Lipa have been together since January 2024.

“We had maybe two, three, four, five near-misses over our time where we didn’t meet,” Turner told The Times of the origin of the pair’s love story. “There’s one where she went to a party and then I went to a party, but I arrived minutes after she left. I arrived at 2 in the morning and she left at 1:45. … There were loads of things like that and then, when we were both able to, we were both single and whatever, I just thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Turner and Lipa finally met when they attended a mutual friend’s birthday party in Los Angeles.

“We sat next to each other and realized we were reading the same book, which is crazy. It’s called Trust [by Hernán Díaz],” Turner quipped. “I had just finished the first chapter and I told her and she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too.’ I said, ‘So, we’re on the same page.’”

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s Relationship Timeline

He continued, “In the movie version of it, I look up to the sky and I’m like, ‘I hear you. I understand.’ The signs are loud, and that was really the first [moment we shared].”

As Turner and Lipa’s romance heated up, they introduced one another to their families.

“She wanted my mum to like her,” Turner added to the Times. “I was nervous meeting her parents too. I wanted her parents to like me.”

Once Turner and Lipa got the approval of one another’s parents, things escalated even more. The “Levitating” singer and Turner made their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala in May, one month before revealing their engagement.

“We’re engaged. It’s very exciting,” Lipa told British Vogue in a June profile. “It’s very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever. It’s a really special feeling.”

MCHINJI-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Wanderers have advanced to the semifinals of the FDH Bank Cup after edging out Creck Sporting FC 3–2 in a post-match penalty shootout, following a tense goalless draw at Aubrey Dimba Stadium in Mchinji on Sunday afternoon.

It was a tightly contested encounter, with both teams displaying determination and tactical discipline from start to finish.

Although Wanderers were favourites going into the game, they found it difficult to penetrate Creck’s solid backline, marshalled by Hardy Ng’andu, who received a yellow card in first-half added time.

The Nomads dominated possession early on, with Thierry Sama and Wisdom Mpinganjira coming close to breaking the deadlock.

Sama nearly scored in the 23rd minute with a powerful header that went just over the bar while Mpinganjira’s thunderous long-range effort narrowly missed the far post before halftime.

Creck, however, were not without their moments. George Chaomba almost put them ahead in the 29th minute with a brilliant solo run but his shot was well saved by Wanderers’ goalkeeper Dalitso Khungwa.

The first half ended goalless, setting the tone for a cagey second period.

After the break, both sides continued to chase a goal. Wanderers made attacking substitutions, bringing in Promise Kamwendo and later Masiya Manda to inject pace and creativity, while Creck responded by introducing Kondwani Chilembwe and Patrick Macheso to maintain intensity.

As the clock ticked down, the game turned into a midfield battle, with both goalkeepers Khungwa for Wanderers and Brighton Munthali for Creck pulling off crucial saves to keep their teams in contention.

With neither side finding the net after 90 minutes, the match went to penalties.

In the shootout, Wanderers held their composure as Masiya Manda, Promise Kamwendo and Blessings Mwalilino converted their spot kicks.

For Creck, George Chaomba and Frank Phiri scored but misses from Emmance Nyirenda and Ramadan Ntafu proved costly after Khungwa produced two brilliant saves.

Wanderers’ goalkeeper Dalitso Khungwa was the hero of the day, guiding his team to a 3–2 penalty victory and a place in the semifinals.

Speaking after the match, Creck Sporting coach Eliya Kananji said it was painful to bow out of the competition but praised his players’ performance, expressing hope that the same level of play in the league would bring positive results.

On the other side, Mighty Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira admitted it was a very tough game and said the most important thing was that his side advanced to the next round of the tournament.

Wanderers will face FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in one semifinal, while the other will feature Silver Strikers against Civil Service United.

The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) will announce the dates and venues for the matches in due course.

…..Controversial directive sparks debate over historical preservation and national memory.

WASHINGTON-(MaraviPost)-President Donald Trump has ordered the removal of all images and exhibits about slavery from U.S. National Parks.

The directive applies to museums, historical sites, and educational displays that currently document the history of slavery in the United States.

Officials within the National Park Service have been instructed to comply with the order, raising serious concerns among historians, civil rights advocates, and educators.

Critics argue that the removal of these exhibits undermines efforts to educate the public about the nation’s past and the enduring impacts of slavery.

Supporters of the move claim that the directive is part of a broader initiative to “present history in a positive light,” although many view it as an attempt to whitewash uncomfortable truths.

The decision has ignited widespread debate on social media and among political commentators, with some calling for immediate legislative action to safeguard historical records.

Civil rights organizations have vowed to challenge the order, emphasizing that slavery is a central part of American history that cannot and should not be erased.

Historians warn that removing such exhibits could create dangerous gaps in public understanding, especially for younger generations learning about the struggles that shaped the nation.

The Trump administration has not released detailed guidelines on how the removal process will be conducted or what will replace the exhibits in national parks.

The controversy is expected to intensify as lawmakers, activists, and the public continue to debate the balance between historical education and political influence.

…Liverpool 1-2 Man U

LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Manchester United handed Liverpool another painful defeat with a 2–1 victory at Anfield on Saturday evening, in a match that left the home fans stunned and disappointed.

The result marked United’s third win in a row and extended Liverpool’s losing streak under Arne Slot to four consecutive games.

The visitors got off to a perfect start, breaking the deadlock just two minutes after kickoff.

A quick counterattack caught Liverpool’s defense napping, allowing Manchester United to take an early 1–0 lead through Mbeumo.

The goal silenced the usually electrifying Anfield atmosphere and gave United confidence to control the early stages.

Liverpool tried to respond through Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai, who both came close with long-range efforts but United’s goalkeeper stood firm.

The Reds dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances, a theme that has plagued them throughout their recent run of defeats.

In the second half, Liverpool increased their intensity, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson pushing high up the flanks. Their persistence finally paid off when Cody Gakpo found the equalizer, finishing clinically inside the box to make it 1–1.

The goal lifted spirits among the Liverpool faithful, who hoped their side could turn the game around.

However, despite the momentum shift, Manchester United remained dangerous on the break. Their midfield trio worked tirelessly to close down spaces and frustrate Liverpool’s attacking rhythm.

Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro were instrumental in keeping United organized and disciplined throughout the contest.

With just six minutes left on the clock, United delivered the final blow.

A swift attacking move saw them slice through Liverpool’s defense and the ball was calmly slotted home to make it 2–1.

The away fans erupted in celebration, while Anfield was left in stunned silence.

Arne Slot, the defeat was another bitter pill to swallow. The Dutch manager, who took charge earlier this season, is now under increasing scrutiny after losing four consecutive matches across all competitions. His tactical approach and team selections have come under fire from sections of the fan base.

The string of defeats 2–1 to Manchester United, 2–1 to Chelsea, 1–0 to Galatasaray and 2–1 to Crystal Palace has raised serious questions about Liverpool’s direction under Slot.

Many believe the team has yet to adapt to his style, while others think fatigue and lack of confidence are playing a major role.

Therefore, Liverpool has now slipped from second to third place in the Premier League table with 15 points from eight matches. Arsenal are leading the race with 19 points, while Manchester City sit second with 16 points.

Kim Kardashian pulled out all the stops for the 2025 Academy Museum Gala, which even meant wearing a full face covering.

Kardashian, 44, attended the annual benefit in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 18, wearing a strapless, tan Maison Margiela Couture gown. The dress featured a corset bodice, billowing sleeves and a tangle of diamond-and-emerald statement necklaces.

Kardashian’s glam, meanwhile, was completely concealed by a translucent face mask.

“You know I love Margiela, so here we are,” Kardashian told Variety on the red carpet about her straight-from-the-runway ensemble. “Honestly, I flew in my favorite makeup artist, Mario [Dedivanovic], from New York and this [mask] is kind of a last-minute thing. I’m sure he’s not so happy with it — or maybe he is.”

According to Kardashian, she had her “full hair and makeup done” before even adding the Margiela mask atop her head.

“I’ll probably take it off upstairs to eat, right?” Kardashian quipped, detailing the logistics of keeping her face covered. “I ate before to make sure that I was OK, but I can see.”

Variety reporter Marc Malkin also wanted to know whether it was “hot” underneath the mask, to which Kardashian revealed she was feeling cool and totally fine.

“You know, I’ve done this before,” Kardashian said, referring to her 2021 Met Gala all-black outfit from Balenciaga that also featured a face covering. “[That was] even more opaque [and this one] does look very Skims-y, that’s why I was drawn to it when the Margiela Couture show came out. I saw this look, and I was like, ‘That is so Skims and so me. How can I get it?’”

Kardashian further noted to the outlet that she followed Margiela designer Glenn Martens’ original “vision” of wearing the gown with both the mask and the necklace.

The Kardashians star founded shapewear brand Skims in 2018, which has since been well-known for its range of neutral-colored bodysuits and undergarments. The company recently went viral earlier this week with the launch of its Faux Hair Panty, a line of G-strings that have fake hair affixed to the front.

“The merkins [were] just a fun idea that I had,” Kardashian told Variety of her inspiration for the new lines of thongs. “There was a shoot, and someone wanted to have hair down there once. I was like, ‘Couldn’t this just be easy and have it on a thong?’ So, we made that happen. I had no idea that it would [gain such] a reaction and it would sell out in a few minutes.”

The new Faux Hair Panty has since sparked widespread conversation, from which Kardashian’s Skims is no stranger.

“I think it’s fun to mix it up,” she quipped on Saturday. “We have our nipple bra, we have our butt and hip shapewear [and] we have our merkins, you know? Who knows what we’ll surprise you with.”

Skims also launched a Face Wrap this summer, which covers an individual’s jawline and part of their chin.

“Our first-ever face innovation is here,” a website description reads. “This must-have face wrap boasts our signature sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support. Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear.”
