“I slave for journalism; honest football journalism to be specific. Developing football content and story writing are my therapies and a way of life. I am somewhere between being an introvert and an extrovert. It just depends on which day you catch me. In any case, my life is about football and more football.

Writing Philosophy/Editorial Standards

Kanjere realised from the early days that his call was in sports journalism. He specialised in football journalism considering that football is Malawi’s number one sport. He believes in journalism that makes sense hence his approach is analytical. He believes that sports journalism without colour of language is like a desert without sand and that integrity, passion and honesty are everything in this business.

Football Reviews: Kanjere watches local and international football matches and reviews them accordingly.

Football Analysis: Kanjere has mastered the art of picking loose ends from breaking news stories and updates to give depth, context and industry-newsmeaning to football using research skills and data analysis.

Football predictions: Kanjere honed his predictive skills while running a My Prediction column with Weekend Nation in Malawi between 2008 and 2015.

“One of my most fascinating experiences as a football journalist is chronicling a journey of an unknown player rising from obscurity to international stardom, retire then fade downhill faster into an ordinary person out of the limelight. All this happens in front of your eyes. It is like you are a doctor witnessing someone at birth then on their very last day on earth—on the death bed. I realise that permanence simply doesn’t exist in football and life in general.”

More About Peter

  • When and how did you venture into football journalism?

    I was a poet but my former English teacher, Mr. Jolly Kalero (deceased), encouraged me to switch into this profession in 1998. 

  • What’s weird about you as a football reporter?

    I hate the sight of anyone dressed in replica jerseys of foreign teams. I don’t just get it. I believe in the home football industry.

  • In that case, do you support any foreign football team?

    I don’t support any foreign team but rather I sympathise with Manchester City and Barcelona. They have clear philosophies.

  • Who do you think is the current GOAT of Malawi football?

    I have not seen any other player like Gabadinho Mhango in the past decade. His work-rate, aggression and temperament make him exceptional.

  • How is life outside sports journalism?

    I am also into corporate communications and public relations, but football journalism comes naturally. I am addicted to both.

  • Which teams do you follow in Malawi and Africa?

    For the team in Malawi, that is for me to know and you to guess. In Africa, I follow Orlando Pirates.
