Aamir Patel, the head honcho of the Sunni Foundation, wants Muslims to show some love and lend a hand to people who are down on their luck. He's talking about folks who don't have enough food or money to get by in Malawi. Patel brought this up on Monday after the Eid prayers at Lilongwe's Main Mosque.
He really drove home the point that people who have a little extra should step up and help out those who are struggling, especially when the economy is in the dumps. "Our country's economy is in pretty rough shape, but we've gotta ask the big guy upstairs for some help," Patel said. He believes that with Allah's compassion and strength, they can turn things around and make sure people can keep their heads above water.

The government started handing out fertilizer for the 2024-2025 growing season at Masintha Ground on Thursday, April 3, 2025. Many people in Kawale are scratching their heads about this move. After all, farmers are busy harvesting their crops right now, not planting new ones.
Some women were overheard saying that only people who got the fertilizer would vote for Chakwera in the September 16 elections. They also had some choice words for the government, calling it incompetent and questioning its decision-making skills. Many Malawians are wondering why the government is giving out fertilizer at this time of year, months after the rainy season started back in November 2024.

6TH, the Malawian Afro-dancehall artist formerly known as Dicto B, is feeling pretty bummed out. He was supposed to perform at the University of Livingstonia (UNILIA) this Saturday alongside Crispy MW, Toast, and Afana Ceez. But some of the event organizers gave him the boot, even though he was already on the list. One of them straight up told 6TH, whose real name is Benedicto Kazembe, "Sorry, dude, the other guys are still going, but you're out."
Here's the deal: Three days ago, a show organizer from Mzuzu approached 6TH about performing at Livingstonia University on Saturday. They agreed to pay him 300,000 Kwacha for his gig and another 500,000 Kwacha for transportation. Usually, 6TH wants a deposit before he's featured on any promo...
