Peter Kanjere is a Malawian sports journalist with close to three decades in the trade, and he writes the Malawian betting guides for AXN Sports. He spent years as a sports editor in Blantyre before turning to betting analysis, which means he came to odds from the reporting side: knowing the clubs, the players and the form first, then what the price on them is worth.
What he writes about
Football carries Peter’s work, and Malawian football above all. He covers the FDH Bank Premiership and the Blantyre derby between FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Mighty Wanderers, the Flames through their Africa Cup of Nations campaigns, and the Scorchers, whose run to the 2026 WAFCON semifinals and first ever World Cup qualification he has followed closely. Around the match analysis and predictions he writes bookmaker reviews, straight explanations of bonus terms and the 15% withholding tax on winnings, and practical guidance for bettors funding accounts through Airtel Money and TNM Mpamba. Continental football fills out the rest, from the Betway Premiership in South Africa to the European leagues Malawians watch most.
Experience and background
Peter has around 28 years of working experience behind him. He founded the Sports Writers Association of Malawi in 2011, served as assistant editor and then sports editor at Times Group through to 2025, and has written for Pan Africa Football and SuperSport. He trained formally for it too: a journalism diploma from the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, an advanced sports certificate from the University of Pretoria, a sports administration diploma from the International Olympic Committee, a marketing degree, and a further journalism degree from Blantyre International University completed in 2025. Newsroom habits carry over into the betting work, so claims get checked before they get published.
How he approaches a betting guide
Peter treats a betting guide as reporting rather than promotion. He checks an operator against the Malawi Gaming and Lotteries Authority list of licensed operators instead of taking a licence claim at face value, and he says plainly when a site serves Malawi from offshore. He is explicit about the 15% tax on winnings, because it changes what a bettor actually collects, and he keeps responsible gambling in view rather than tacking it on at the end. Where the local league is priced loosely, he says so, and explains why local knowledge is the edge.
