On July 21, 2019, a photo of Nyasa Big Bullets' striker Hassan Kajoke receiving a chicken as a man of the match award went viral on social media.
The award was given to Kajoke by a fan who was impressed by his performance in the 5-0 win over Karonge United at Kamuzu Stadium in the Malawian league clash.
The club, Nyasa Big Bullets, posted the photo on their Facebook page, which attracted a lot of comments on social media.
According to the post, 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.
Unlike in Kenya's Kenya Premier League (KPL), where the player of the month receives a television set and a monetary award, the man of the match award in Malawi is a chicken.
