Coach Kalisto Pasuwa wants his Malawi team to face South Africa without fear at Bingu Stadium on Saturday. The Flames come into this African Nations Championship match after beating Comoros 4-0 overall last round. Players must keep their focus sharp throughout the entire game against their skilled opponents. Mistakes could cost them their first-ever CHAN qualification chance. Fans will serve as the extra player for the home team.
Pasuwa believes past losses came from showing rivals too much respect. His team must play their natural football style when facing the technically skilled South African squad. The visitors left some top local talents at home due to club duties, which might help Malawi. Both teams will field domestic league...
Money changes hands during party primaries as candidates push for nominations. Reports say Democratic Progressive Party hopeful Veronica Ndalama gave MK50,000 to each of 300 delegates in South Lunzu Constituency. She also promised them MK150,000 more after her win, but has not paid it. Her rival, Shadreck Banda, reportedly handed out MK15,000 per delegate with a promise of MK100,000 shopping vouchers later.
These practices spread beyond South Lunzu to Blantyre City South-West and Thyolo-Thava constituencies. Party member Leonard Chimbanga posted on Facebook about his worry that unfair primaries might drive voters toward independent candidates. He warned that greed would hurt the party because voters will make their real choice on...
UDF leader Atupele Muluzi plans to reduce the number of presidential vehicles to seven if he wins next year's election. He shared this during his Business First Plan announcement in Lilongwe. The plan aims to move Malawi away from needing aid toward more business growth and trade.
Muluzi believes bad policies and corruption hurt the economy badly. He wants leaders to set examples by spending less money. Beyond smaller motorcades, he promised not to buy new government cars for at least two years or until the economy improves.
His new plan focuses on making Malawi more open for companies, traders, and tourists. He made it clear that this plan stands apart from the official UDF manifesto. Voters will see that complete manifesto when his...
Malawi President Chakwera faced criticism after parts of his speech went viral on social media. Critics claimed he attacked a cabinet member but failed to take action against them.
The viral clip showed Chakwera saying corrupt officials demand kickbacks from businesses for contracts. Social media users like Onjezani Kenani questioned why the president complained about an evil person in his cabinet without doing anything about it.
The full speech reveals that Chakwera was actually discussing hypothetical situations. He started with people who think it takes an evil person in the cabinet to issue threats for kickbacks, not claiming such a person exists. The partial clip changed the entire meaning of his message.
This case shows how...
