Infinity Media Group has donated 50 reflective vests valued at K1 million to Mangochi Police Station in a move aimed at improving working conditions for officers and enhancing service delivery to communities in the district.
The donation was made on June 17, 2026, following a request submitted by the police station during one of its courtesy visits to the media company.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Infinity Media Group Director of Operations Ernest Chapotera said the company was impressed by the commitment and dedication demonstrated by police officers in Mangochi as they work to maintain peace and order.
Chapotera noted that Mangochi is among the country’s busiest and fastest-growing districts, making the role of law enforcement officers increasingly important in safeguarding residents, visitors and businesses.
He said the donation was a gesture of appreciation for the efforts being made by the police service and a contribution towards strengthening their visibility while carrying out duties in various parts of the district.
According to Chapotera, the strong presence of police officers in communities helps deter criminal activities and creates a secure environment that supports business growth and economic development.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the station, Officer-in-Charge Assistant Commissioner of Police Peter Kalaya described the support as timely and significant for the daily operations of the police service.
Kalaya explained that reflective vests make it easier for members of the public to identify police officers, particularly during traffic management duties, public events and security operations conducted both during the day and at night.
He further said the donation demonstrates growing confidence among stakeholders in the work being done by the police and serves as encouragement for officers to continue serving the public professionally and effectively.
The police chief has since called on other organisations and well-wishers to emulate Infinity Media Group’s example by supporting initiatives that strengthen policing and improve public safety, pledging that Mangochi Police Station will continue working tirelessly to keep the district safe and secure for all.
