He was also on target when Malawi beat Kenya 2-0 to win the third-place.
“I am very happy to have finished as top scorer in only my first international tournament, hopefully this is the start of good things to come.
“I will continue working hard so that I can get better and better,” he said.
Namibia’s Abram Tjahikika was the second leading scorer with four goals.
