Legson Kaira Primary School has won the ‘Phungu Wanga’ (My MP) quiz competition after beating Kamangila Primary School in the Chimteka Education Zone, in Mchinji District.

The competition is part of a civic education initiative by Save the Children International and the Centre for Civil Society Strengthening (CCSS), aimed at helping learners develop critical thinking and civic awareness.

Speaking to Nation Online, CCSS team leader Viwemi Chavula said the project is designed to encourage students to become active participants in community affairs.

Parliament’s chief policy and planning officer, Johnstone Mdala, acknowledged widespread confusion about the roles of MPs and councillors. He attributed this partly to how MPs perform their duties and noted that many rarely engage with their constituencies.

“There is a general lack of understanding, both inside and outside Parliament, of what representation means,” Mdala said.

EU programmes manager for governance and human rights, welcomed the initiative, saying it was encouraging to see Parliament making efforts to engage citizens directly.

The 'Phungu Wanga' project is being implemented in Rumphi, Mchinji, and Balaka districts with support from the European Union.

UTM president Dalitso Kabambe says demands in the 2025 Women’s Manifesto align closely with his party’s priorities.

Speaking after receiving after receiving the manifesto in Lilongwe, Kabambe stressed the need to dismantle cultural and religious norms that have long disadvantaged women.

“Malawi comes from a background that elevated men at the expense of women. A lot has changed, but we are still far behind. We must do more to elevate women to the same level,” he said.

Kabambe cited past practices that prioritised boys’ education and allowed polygamy while marginalising women from leadership.

WOLREC Executive Director Maggie Kathewera Banda, who coordinates the Women’s Manifesto Movement, said they will track implementation of promises through a monitoring system that checks gender balance in public appointments and governance.

“Once people commit, they must be followed up. Without the commitment card, we can’t track the data,” she said.

The Women’s Manifesto is a civil society-led advocacy tool ahead of the September 16 polls.
