Sub-Saharan Africa Family Enrichment (SAFE), a Christ-centred NGO, says it plans to construct a K672 million complex in Zomba aimed at enhancing education and youth development.

Speaking during an open day ceremony at Likangala Park on Friday, SAFE Board Chairperson Mangani Chilala Katundu said the complex will include an education park for children, an amphitheatre, a modern library, a biological learning pond and sports fields.

Katundu said the organisation has so far raised US$15,000 towards the initiative and has called for partnerships with organisations and construction companies to help bring the project to fruition.

Zomba City Deputy Mayor, Councillor Anthony Gonani, said the council will support SAFE’s plans to modernise its Haven.

Gonani also commended SAFE for contributing significantly to the impressive performance of students in the city in national examinations.

Henry Sakala, a beneficiary, said free after-class lessons provided by SAFE helped him score 19 points in the recently released MSCE examinations.

Sakala said he has also gained knowledge in business management and developed public speaking skills through the organisation.

SAFE provides children and young people with a safe space to interact, play and access edutainment and after-class care, while also offering psychosocial support to the elderly to improve their well-being and help them care for vulnerable children.

National Advocacy Platform chairperson Benedicto Kondowe says operational challenges at the Office of the Auditor General should not be allowed to disrupt the recommended forensic audit into passport printing contracts at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services.

Kondowe's remarks come as the Auditor General's Office said it is yet to start the forensic audit, despite the Ombudsman recommending that it should be conducted and the findings should be submitted to Parliament within 9 months.

The audit is expected to examine the procurement, management of contracts and payments made to three passport printing service providers namely; Techno Brain Global FZE, E-Tech Systems and Madras Security Printers Private Limited which were engaged by Immigration over a period of 4 to 5 years.

National Audit Office Public Relations Officer Rabson Kagwam’minga said the audit has not yet commenced because the office is currently implementing other audits under its approved work programme.

He said the recommended forensic audit will be undertaken after the necessary planning and resource allocation processes have been completed.

The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) has warned members of the public against publishing or sharing Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB) examination results on social media without the knowledge or consent of the candidates concerned.

In a statement signed by MACRA Director General Mayamiko Mkoloma, the Authority says examination results constitute personal data under the Data Protection Act, 2024, as they are linked to identified individuals and form part of their private academic records.

According to MACRA, the disclosure or publication of such information must have a lawful basis and respect the rights and freedoms of individuals.

The Authority has warned that individuals who unlawfully disclose examination results may face both civil and criminal liability.

MACRA has therefore urged the public to desist from sharing other people’s examination results and to respect the privacy of examination candidates.

Child rights activist Memory Chisenga says inadequate funding for child protection services is affecting efforts to prevent and respond to cases of abuse and exploitation in the country.

Chisenga’s concerns come as the UNICEF Child Protection Budget Brief for 2025/26 says child protection services in Malawi remain grossly underfunded, particularly at district level.

According to the brief, the direct child protection budget has increased from K909 million in the 2024/25 financial year to K1.7 billion in 2025/26 although the allocation accounts for less than 0.02 percent of the total government budget and translates to just 160 kwacha per vulnerable child per year.

The brief further shows that 96 percent of child protection funding remains centralised, with district councils receiving only about K2.5 million per year to deliver child protection case management and other services which according to UNICEF is fiscally and politically untenable.

Chisenga says the situation is worrying as children continue to face violence, child marriage, child labour and other forms of abuse, requiring well-resourced protection and support systems.

UNICEF also reports that 38 percent of girls in Malawi enter marriage before the age of 18, while one in five girls and one in seven boys experience sexual abuse before reaching adulthood.

Controller of Internal Audit in the Ministry of Finance Dickson Chasambira has urged internal auditors in the country to embrace new technologies in their work, to help detect and prevent the sophisticated ways of mismanagement of resources in both public and private institutions.

Chasambira made the call during this year’s annual conference of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) being held in Mangochi, where he was the guest of honour.

He said emerging risks such as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence require auditors to continuously update their knowledge and adopt modern tools in their work.

He also urged them to uphold integrity, professionalism and honesty, saying these values must work together with technology to ensure effective internal auditing and promote good governance.

In his remarks, IIA president Msungeni Salanje, has assured that the conference is a platform for the internal auditors to strengthen their capacity.

The Ministry of Health and Sanitation has urged Malawians to start open conversations about su***de as the country joins the rest of the world in commemorating World Su***de Prevention Day today, September 10.

This year’s commemoration is being held under the theme “Changing the Narrative on Su***de”, with the call to action “Start the Conversation.”

The Ministry says su***de remains a major public health concern and a preventable cause of premature death, with mental health conditions, social isolation, violence, substance use, economic difficulties and relationship challenges among factors that can contribute to suicidal behaviour.

The Ministry has since called on families, friends, teachers, health workers, employers, traditional and religious leaders, community leaders and civil society organisations to listen without judgement and take signs of hopelessness or suicidal thoughts seriously.

The 2026 Malawi to***co marketing season has officially closed after 21 weeks of trading which started from April 20 to September 9.

According to the To***co Commission, a total of 144.5 million kilograms of to***co were sold during the season, generating US$286.1 million in revenue at an average price of US$1.98 per kilogram.

The Commission says the season recorded significant progress despite challenges, particularly high rejection rates due to auction floor standards.

Following the closure, the To***co Commission says it will conduct a clearance sale next week to facilitate the sale of to***co currently held at the auction centres.

The Commission will also publish a comprehensive review of the 2026 marketing season, including lessons learned and key findings once all related market activities have been concluded.
