Malawi Heritage Awards returns this Weekend

By Durrell Namasani

The Second Malawi Heritage Awards ceremony will be held this weekend in the city of Manchester. This follows the successful inaugural event that took place last year in the same City. Malawians living in UK will be joined by people from other nationalities to recognise Malawians that have done tremendous work in their various communities in the UK

The event which has been organised by Malawi Heritage UK will take place on Saturday, 29th October 2022 . The Awards are aimed at recognising deserving individuals that are helping to make the community better through positive contribution

According to Director of Malawi Heritage UK Allan Mandindi, the Awards were born out of the need to recognise people who carried out selfless community engagements but also aimed at encouraging people in the Diaspora to get involved in community work because they play a vital role both at home and abroad.
