Speaker orders fresh probe into Kangankunde mine amid licensing concerns

Parliament has intensified scrutiny of the Kangankunde Rare Earths Mine in Balaka, with the Speaker of the National Assembly directing the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources, Energy and Climate Change to institute a fresh investigation into the project’s operations within 30 days amid concerns over licensing and the export of mineral samples.

The directive followed presentation of the committee’s report by its vice chairperson, Khadijah Leah Chunga, who said the committee found that the mine is operating under a medium-scale mining licence issued in April 2022 despite the scale of operations suggesting it qualifies for a large-scale licence.

Chunga said the committee also established that the mining company failed to produce key technical, financial and environmental documents, including an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), during its oversight visit.

She further said the committee was concerned that raw mineral samples were being exported to Zambia and Australia for testing, but the Geological Survey Department could not account for the quantities exported or confirm whether test results had been returned to Malawi.

“We have given the Geological Survey Department two weeks to provide the information, but we are still waiting for the responses,” she said, adding that the absence of a laboratory at the mine means all raw materials are exported for testing.

While acknowledging the mine’s significant potential to contribute to Malawi’s economy, Chunga said the committee remained concerned that the country could be losing value from its mineral resources because of inadequate monitoring and regulatory compliance.

Responding to the report, Speaker of the National Assembly, Sameer Suleman said Parliament would not accept large-scale mining operations being conducted under a medium-scale licence.

“The figures we are hearing here are not medium-scale. That's large-scale. So maybe there's something they don't want to expose by using a large-scale licence,” Suleman said.

He gave the committee 30 days to verify all documentation and report back to Parliament, warning that the mine could be closed if the investigation uncovers irregularities or shows that Malawians are not benefiting from the country's mineral resources.

“We are not going to allow our minerals to be stolen anymore. We’d rather keep them,” he said.

Artists’ representatives get clarity on COSOMA royalty distribution

Representatives of some artists say they have gained clarity on how the Copyright Society of Malawi (COSOMA) distributes royalties following a closed-door meeting held on Monday at the society’s offices in Lilongwe.

The meeting, which involved representatives of Akometsi Limited, Madness Entertainment and 4kaya Films Inc., followed concerns from artists over the distribution of funds collected through the blank media levy system.

In a video shared by Akometsi Limited after the meeting, COSOMA Executive Director Dora Makwinja acknowledged that many people do not fully understand how the organisation collects and distributes royalties.

During the discussions, artist representative Kelvin Sulungwe said the meeting helped clarify the percentage of funds that ultimately reaches rights holders, as well as the methodology used in distributing the money.

“The meeting has helped us understand how COSOMA calculates the distribution of royalties, including the methodology used and how the final amount received by rights holders is arrived at,” Sulungwe said.

According to the representatives, rights holders receive about 48 percent of the total amount collected after various deductions and statutory allocations, clarifying that the commonly cited 60 percent figure does not represent the final amount received by rights holders.

They also explained that the distribution methodology is based on data collected from licensed compact disc (CD) and digital versatile disc (DVD) burning centres.

Meanwhile, Kelvin Ngumuya, popularly known as Jaa Kev, who represented Madness Entertainment during the meeting, raised concerns over what he described as the continued reliance on analogue systems within COSOMA’s operations.

In a video shared by Akometsi Limited, Jaa Kev called for the introduction of digital systems to improve the collection, tracking and distribution of royalties.

The meeting also addressed concerns surrounding a 20 percent deduction that appeared on some royalty statements as an administration fee.

The artists’ representatives said the issue was clarified during the meeting, with the deduction explained as withholding tax rather than a fee charged by COSOMA.

The meeting followed growing calls from artists for greater transparency and accountability in the administration of royalties collected through the blank media levy system.

Malawi's Queens thrash Scotland to grab position 7

The Malawi national netball team has beaten host Scotland 54-47 in its last game at the Commonwealth games and has since climbed to position seven from position nine on the world netball rankings.

The queens started the first quarter on a positive note, finishing it with 17 baskets against Scotland's 12.

In the second quarter, the home side fought hard and reduced the margin to 13-11, bringing the total scores to 30-23 at halftime.

Things heated up in the third and last quarter which both ended 12-12 but it was Malawi which had the last laugh following the 54-47 baskets.

Veteran shooter Mwawi Kumwenda was on song, banging most of the baskets. She combined well with fellow old-timer Takondwa Lwazi who provided her with killer passes.

With this win, the queens now have registered four wins and losing three at this year's commonwealth games. They have won against Northern Ireland, Tonga and Scotland, losing to South Africa, Australia and England.
