Minister of Finance Joseph Mwanamvekha has called on Malawi’s private sector to help tackle the country’s economic challenges. Speaking at the National Economic Recovery validation workshop in Lilongwe, he said bold reforms and support from all stakeholders are needed to restore macroeconomic stability and achieve sustainable growth.

Mwanamvekha acknowledged that Malawians are struggling due to recently imposed levies, but said government had no alternative. Without them, he argued, salaries and drug procurement would not be possible. He described the current hardship as temporary and stressed that government alone cannot deliver the recovery agenda.

The minister outlined the National Economic Recovery Plan as the framework to reset the economy. Key priorities include fiscal discipline, higher productivity, better food security, export growth, and private sector-led development. He urged experts and business leaders in the room to offer practical solutions rather than theories, and flagged Malawi’s high debt and delayed fuel price adjustments that cost nearly K1 trillion.

With 5,000 university graduates entering the job market yearly, Mwanamvekha said job creation is urgent. He said the nation must accept short-term discomfort for long-term progress under Malawi 2063. He also reaffirmed food access for all Malawians as a top government priority.

Engineer Vitumbiko Mumba made a promise last Saturday at the NOZOBAL prize ceremony — and delivered in days.

He has installed powerful floodlights at Katoto basketball courts for K16 million, so players especially working ladies who train after hours can finally hit the court at night. Terraces are done too, and a fence roof are next. Security’s already in place.

“We received complaints from ladies who go to work during the day and find it difficult to train during weekdays. We have therefore decided to install floodlights so that they can train in the evenings after knocking off from work,” said Mumba on Saturday.
NOZOBAL Chair Gospel Thanthwe Mangweru: “I’m short of words. He’s a man of his word. This is how basketball grows.” said Mumba.

Mumba’s also backing Northern Region Netball League with K75 million to build Malawi’s next generation of netball stars.

First of its kind in Mzuzu.

In a show of continued commitment to urban development and public-private collaboration, CDH Investment Bank has announced a K2 million donation to Lilongwe City Council for the Mayors vision sharing and stakeholders’ engagement activity.

The activity underscores the bank’s belief in the transformative potential of collaborative planning between government, business, and the community.

Speaking at the symbolic handover of the cheque on Tuesday in Lilongwe, the bank’s Account Relationship Manager – Corporate and Public Sector Jennie Madinga shared that the bank is pleased to support the transformative initiative which will spur collaborative insights, planning, and shared purpose.

“CDH Investment Bank's decision to partner with this initiative is rooted in our belief that Lilongwe is at a pivotal juncture, where effective urban management requires collaboration by all stakeholders to drive policy synthesis, private sector investment, and broad community engagement in transforming a city into a hub of innovation and support infrastructure development,' Madinga emphasized.

The bank highlighted the importance of planning and trust in executing the proposed vision, describing the initiative as a multiplier that could accelerate Lilongwe’s potential.

She said the message reiterated CDH Investment Bank’s commitment to providing financial advisory services and capital solutions to help turn ambitious plans into tangible outcomes for citizens such as bolster prioritized infrastructure projects identified through the Mayor’s vision sharing process and translate strategic discussions into practical improvements that enhance the quality of life for Lilongwe residents.

The Malawi government has challenged LUANAR to take its digital farming solutions to market to help address recurring food shortages and economic struggles.

Speaking after visiting LUANAR’s ICT Innovation activities, ICT Minister Shadric Namalomba said the university should use its research capacity to help policymakers fix issues with FISP, since billions have been spent but food insecurity persists even in years with higher allocations.

LUANAR Council Chair Prof. James Seyani asked government for more funding to market those solutions. One key innovation highlighted is EMIRIS, a mobile call center that provides farmers with personalized extension and advisory services to improve information access, reduce knowledge gaps, and boost productivity and household income.

Minister of Gender, Children, Disability and social welfare, Mary Navitcha on Tuesday launched the Umunthu Social Index (USI) at a colourful ceremony held at Ufulu Gardens in Lilongwe.

Speaking at this year’s Umunthu Impact Social Forum, Navitcha commended the organizers, saying the forum “is a statement on its own” that promotes honest conversation, structured thinking, and commitment to meaningful, sustainable change.

“The Umunthu philosophy teaches that a person is a person through other people. This is more than a cultural expression; it is a guiding principle for nation-building. It reminds us that our progress as individuals, institutions, communities, and as a nation is interconnected,” she said.

“Our impact is not measured by what we achieve in isolation, but by what we accomplish together,” Navitcha told the conference.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Umunthu recognizes unity in diversity, and that together everyone achieves more,” she continued.

She cited Nelson Mandela as a classic example of Umunthu in practice. Despite being the greatest victim of apartheid, Mandela reconciled Black and white South Africans and turned the ‘rainbow nation’ — once full of hatred, division, and calls for revenge — into a united, prosperous country for all.

Where Is the Pride of Our Nation When We Break Our Own Systems?

Malawi was once the center of attraction for the world. A nation known for discipline and hard work. Today, we have strayed from the path of glory and are walking in darkness.

We live in a Malawi where few care about society. We think only of self-interest and protecting our families, while the needs of the community are trampled.

Malawi was a destination for all nations. Malawians could travel the world without a visa because our passport was trusted. Today, those entrusted to protect our identity are selling it to foreigners. Our passport, once ranked among the best, now lies at the bottom of global indices. It is a shame to the country and to posterity.

For the price of a bottle of beer, men and women steal drugs from hospitals. Criminals want to be called "big buyers" in clubs and men of authority, while they collect wealth by killing innocent patients. They steal life-saving drugs meant for the sick.

Those who took an oath to protect the sick and the poor in our hospitals are now the ones stealing and demanding money from bedridden patients. The most respected profession lies in ruins because we have lost the glory of our nation.

Malawi is in the hands of gangsters and daylight robbers. To the Road Traffic Directorate, the condition of a car means nothing as long as they can pocket money for a bottle of beer and a Honda Fit. It is a shameless nation hanging on the edge of a broken system.

No one thinks about sanitation. We establish markets wherever we please and defy authority whenever we want.

The courts, where we place our trust for justice, have lost their way. Justice has gone to the dogs. Justice is bought, and if you have no money, forget about the system protecting you.
