Illovo Sugar Malawi just picked Ronald Ngwira as their new top guy starting September 8, 2025. The company desperately needs someone who can fix their sugar mess that has left store shelves empty across the country. Ngwira spent over 30 years working farms and knows how to make things grow. He used to run Pyxus Agriculture Malawi where he handled seeds, nuts, trees, and tobacco. Board chief Jimmy Lipunga says Ngwira understands how to make farming work better and keep everyone happy.
The new manager studied hard to get ready for this job. He earned a master's degree from Bolton University and learned about computers and math at the University of Malawi. Ngwira also took special classes to become a better leader. His smart thinking about farms and green practices impressed the board members. They believe he can turn around the sugar business that has been struggling for months.
Lekani Katandula left his job to work for the parent company ABF Sugar. Kondwani Msimuko kept things running during the search for a replacement. Customers have been angry about missing sugar and crazy prices at stores. The company hopes Ngwira can bring back steady sugar supplies. His first task will be making sure every shop has enough sugar for people to buy.
