Mtambo quashes Hate

By Leonard Kavwenje, Lilongwe

True to itself, it billed up to its value!

It was a strictly controversial and hotly anticipated Radio and Television Exclusive Interview on the privately-owned Zodiak Broadcasting Station. Indeed the beautiful young Leah Malekano perfectly hosted the Lion of Modern Times.

Mtambo’s calmness in his first fiery appearance in the media domains since February proved himself to be a brain not to worthy to quiz.

His usual composure and updated mastery of the current political and socio-economic episodes kindly left haters in their own indecisive hell.

“It is illogical to think and say I used Malawians to become a cabinet minister. I accepted the ministerial position. I do not regret. I betrayed no one. I do not see any problem in serving people”, Mtambo clarified.

Lucky Namiwa, a Thyolo-based young Malawian comments, “I have always been a Democratic Progressive Party diehard. And no one can change my mind. I digested whatever Comrade Timothy Pagonachi Simbega Mtambo articulated. The guy is indeed a genius. I faulted myself. I thought Mtambo would unfairly trash President Chakwera and his government to a negative integer but to my soft puzzle, the Peoples’ Soldier balanced everyone’s accumulated public opinion and the current worthwhile government streamlines. He deserves our credit.”

Attributing to the most followed interview beam, one of Malawi’s political analysis powerhouse in Lilongwe says, “Mtambo’s presentation and delivery of his political and economic synthesis dates back to the Anglo-Saxons Age. This guy is someone else. A Greek brain. He is true and original. I enjoyed the interview.”

The 39-year-old President and Commander-in-Chief of the Citizens for Transformation (CFT) People Power Movement rose to global limelight due to his relentless human rights fireworks at the helm of the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC).

For the first time history has been registered in series of eras. Politicians have always been known as difficult people to handle and they quarrel each and everytime they are together. Experience shows they do not trust each other. However this is not the case in the area of Lilongwe City Centre Constituency where there has been smooth transfer of power. This transition is not simple but able only with mature politicians.

Member of Parliament for Lilongwe City Centre, Alfred Jiya and Member of Parliament for Lilongwe City South East constituency, Ulemu Msungama and Shadow MP for the newly demarcated Lilongwe City Centre this afternoon met in order to do proper transition of power allowing Nankhuni to start mobilizing people ahead of the 2025 polls.

Export Credit Financing promotes trade and investment- Chithyola

by Mike Van Kamande

Minister of Trade and Industry Simplex Chithyola-Banda says apart from promoting trade and investment Export Credit Financing (ECF) is an essential tool for boosting exports facilitation.

Speaking in Lilongwe on Monday when he opened a three-day ECF training Chithyola-Banda said the facility augers well with government’s vision of creating an inclusively wealthy and self-reliant export-led industrialized upper middle income country by 2063.

“Many countries including Malawi have rich natural resources that hold potential for increased export activity but often lack the financial resources or innovative financial instruments to fully exploit them to our economic advantage.

“For instance recently operationalized African Continent Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement opened up vast regional trade opportunities creating a unified market with over 1.2 billion people and a gross domestic product (GDP) of $2.5 trillion. However, for businesses within SADC Region to exploit such opportunities there is need for access to finance to bring goods and services to these markets,” he said.

Southern African Development Community Development Finance Cooperation and Resources (SADC-DFCR) Chief Executive Officer Stuart Kufeni said the region needs sound export credit finance functions that should enable export trade in a safe, value adding, and sustainable manner. But for this to materialise, we need to invest in skills and capacities to complement efforts of growing and diversifying export credit finance schemes and instruments that are available within the region and beyond.

In his remarks Export Development Fund (EDF) Managing Director Alfred Chanza said the training aims at building capacities, deepening knowledge, and sharing the best practices in the area of ECF.

“This practical and interactive course is designed for professionals seeking to build and improve knowledge of Export and Trade Credit insurance as well as widen understanding both of the range of products and their modus operandi,” he said.

President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has hailed Malawi’s entrepreneur and philanthropist Napoleon Dzombe for defying stereotypes people have about investing in the tourism sector.

Chakwera was speaking during the official opening of Kalipano Hotel, which Dzombe has constructed in the area of Senior Chief Kayembe in Dowa.

The President noted that despite Dzombe being no stranger to performing wonders, it was safe to say that the feat he has achieved in the tourism sector deserves special attention.

Chakwera expressed delight at the partnership the investment has established between the Malawi’s public and private sectors, saying although Dzombe is the developer, he has entrusted the management of the investment to Sunbird Tourism Limited.

Sunbird Tourism Limited Board Chair Vilipo Munthali commended Dzombe’s vision, foresight and determination that culminated into the realization of the magnificent Kalipano Investment.

In his remarks, Dzombe said he came up with the vision for the investment after various international travels to countries like Dubai and China.

Dzombe said he envisions, among other things, an international conference centre, a mega fish farm, and a rice irrigation scheme at the hotel in the near future.

Speaking earlier, Minister of Tourism Vera Kamtukule said government has put in place incentives to encourage investment in the tourism sector by, among others, removing duty on purchase of construction materials for specific tourist destinations.

She encouraged the private sector to partner with government in various investments and pledged government commitment in ensuring that such places are accessible.

Save the Children has hailed partnerships that are there between government and communities in various projects saying they are impacting positively on development.

Regional Director for Save the Children (East and southern Africa), Ian Vale, said this in Zomba on Wednesday when touring ‘Titukulane projects’ being implemented by the organisation.

“The important thing that we have learnt in these visits is less about what Save the Children does but how we work with different stakeholders including the government to ensure that the activities can go on for much longer than we are able to intervene, in this way helping children and families prosper, “she said.

One of the beneficiaries, Luwiza Singano Kanyambujo from Mazeze Village, Traditional Authority Chikowi in Zomba, says she can now manage to pay school fees for her Form Three daughter who is studying at Karonga St. Mary’s.

Apart from the irrigation farming that she is into, Luwiza, through the support from Save the Children, started a business which earns her about K300,000 in a month.

Titukulane is a project seeking to improve the livelihood of communities, with components of agriculture production, health, nutrition and resilience with other cross-cutting themes including gender, youth empowerment and environment protection.
