The anonymous fan asked to give out the gift, carrying a cardboard box that read “Kajoke BB”. The hen was colored red, as a tradition of gifts in the Premier League. Nyasa Big Bullets are placed fifth on the Malawian league table.
In a top league like Malawian TNM Super League, a man of the match award is to be taken to a high consideration. In Kenya for instance, the Kenya Premier League (KPL) player of the month receives a television set and a monetary award.
Kenyans too have reacted to the photo on social media.
