Blantyre, 15th November 2023

HRDC's insistence on transparency and accountability is evident in their call for the task force to provide regular updates to the public. They emphasize the need for detailed information on the progress of the measures, the amount of money saved, and how these funds are being utilized to assist Malawians affected by the devaluation.

Breaking News: Malawi's Reserve Bank Adjusts Exchange Rate to MWK1700.00 to the US Dollar

In a significant move to address prevailing economic challenges, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (the Bank) has announced a major adjustment in the exchange rate, effectively raising the selling rate from MWK1180.29 to MWK1700.00 to the US Dollar. This adjustment, which takes effect from November 9, 2023, comes after a thorough assessment conducted by the central bank.

The Reserve Bank cites several key reasons for this exchange rate adjustment:

1. Supply-Demand Imbalances: Despite prior adjustments through the auction system, the Malawian market continues to grapple with supply-demand imbalances. The central bank aims to rectify this issue with the new exchange rate.

2. Arbitrage Opportunities: The mismatch in exchange rates in the cash and telegraphic transfer (TT) markets has led to the resurgence of arbitrage opportunities. The new exchange rate seeks to harmonize these discrepancies and create a more stable environment.

3. Import Bill Clearance: Spot checks on select market players have shown that the market is now capable of clearing import bills at the adjusted rate. This demonstrates the central bank's commitment to ensuring a sustainable and balanced economic landscape.

In response to the adjustment, the Reserve Bank of Malawi has stated its intention to closely monitor market developments to prevent any disorderly behavior among market players that could potentially lead to excessive volatility.

This exchange rate adjustment is expected to have far-reaching implications for businesses, consumers, and investors in Malawi. It may impact the cost of imported goods, international trade, and investment decisions. While the move is aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate and promoting economic growth, it remains to be seen how various sectors of the economy will adapt to the new rate.

The public's reaction to this announcement, along with the potential consequences for Malawi's economic landscape, will be closely watched in the coming days. The Reserve Bank's proactive measures signify a commitment to addressing economic challenges and fostering financial stability in the nation.

Unisa Denies Conferring Honorary Doctorates on Phemphero Mphande, Patience Namadingo, and Mansoor Sharif Karim

Johannesburg, South Africa – In a recent press release, the University of South Africa (Unisa) has categorically denied conferring honorary doctorates on three prominent Malawian figures: Phemphero Mphande, Patience Namadingo, and Mansoor Sharif Karim. The university's statement comes in response to claims made by these individuals on social media and in the media, suggesting that they had received these honorary degrees in 2020, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

Unisa's Acting Registrar, Professor Moloko Sepota, has stated that the university never considered, approved, or awarded honorary doctorates to Phemphero Mphande, Patience Namadingo, or Mansoor Sharif Karim. The university's official records do not include these individuals among the candidates eligible for such an honor in 2020, 2021, or 2023. Unisa also clarified that no honorary degrees were awarded in 2022.

Moreover, Unisa strongly refutes the authenticity of the certificates presented by Mphande and Namadingo as Unisa degree certificates. The institution emphasized that the awarding of honorary doctorates at Unisa follows a meticulously controlled process. Nominations and approvals occur through various governance structures within the university, culminating in final approval by the University Council. The conferment of honorary degrees is conducted during open graduation ceremonies, presided over by duly authorized university officials, typically the Chancellor or Principal and Vice Chancellor.

Unisa expressed its disapproval of these false claims and denounced the misuse of its name for fraudulent purposes. University officials have been directed to investigate the matter, ensuring that those involved are held accountable and required to retract their false statements.

The controversy surrounding the alleged honorary doctorates has raised questions about the credibility of such claims and the importance of verifying academic honors. Unisa's response serves as a reminder that honorary degrees are awarded only through a rigorous and transparent process, safeguarding the integrity of the university's academic distinctions.
