Truth under siege: MCP diaspora slashes baseless claims

By Burnett Munthali

In a scathing rebuke, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Diaspora network has slammed allegations of demanding a £300,000 refund as a vicious fabrication designed to undermine the party’s credibility.

This unequivocal denial comes in response to malicious reports circulating online, which have been dismissed as pure fiction and a desperate attempt at political sabotage.

The diaspora wing has squarely blamed the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for orchestrating the smear campaign, accusing them of diverting attention from their own failures.



“The DPP should focus on implementing its own manifesto, as that is what Malawians expect, rather than wasting time trying to bring MCP into disrepute,” the statement read.

Undling any ambiguity, the MCP Diaspora has underlined two crucial facts: firstly, no such donation of £300,000 was ever made to the party by the diaspora wing, and secondly, no refund has been demanded by any member of the diaspora.

These assertions have been touted as baseless propaganda, with the diaspora wing vowing to resist attempts to sow discord within the party.

The statement concluded with an urgent appeal to the public and party loyalists to disregard the false reports, reaffirming the diaspora’s unwavering support for the MCP and its leadership.

This development underscores the MCP Diaspora’s commitment to transparency and accountability, as it continues to champion the party’s values and vision.

In a move seen as a bid to contain the fallout, the MCP Diaspora has vowed to take a tough stance against those behind the malicious allegations, further solidifying the party’s resolve to push forward amidst adversity.

The diaspora wing’s resolute response has sent a clear message: the MCP will not be swayed by deceitful tactics, and its commitment to truth and unity remains unshakeable.

Renowned gospel musician Viera Kaduma has hinted at an exciting year ahead for Malawians, revealing plans to release several new songs before the end of 2026.

The artist says fans should brace themselves for spiritually uplifting music that reflects growth in both sound and message.

According to the gospel singer, Leza carries a strong message of faith and gratitude, themes that have become a signature of her music.

She believes the song will resonate with many listeners who are seeking hope and encouragement.

Kaduma says the overwhelming support she received last year on her hit song Moyo Wosatha has motivated her to return with even stronger material.

She describes the response as a major confidence boost that pushed her back into the studio.

The artist notes that positive feedback from fans plays a critical role in shaping her creative direction. She says knowing that her music touches lives gives her the energy to keep producing meaningful content.

Beyond music, Kaduma is also known for her involvement in various business ventures, including fashion and designing. She says balancing music with entrepreneurship has helped her remain focused and financially stable.

Drawing from her own experience, Kaduma has encouraged upcoming musicians to diversify their income sources. She particularly urged young female artists not to rely solely on music for survival.

She emphasized that having side businesses empowers artists to make independent decisions without compromising their values or creativity. Kaduma believes financial independence strengthens confidence in the industry.

Kaduma further said discipline and hard work are essential for anyone hoping to build a long lasting career in music. She advised young artists to invest time in personal development alongside talent.

As anticipation builds for Leza and other upcoming releases, gospel music fans across the country are watching closely. Many days
are hopeful that Kaduma’s new projects will once again leave a lasting mark on Malawi’s gospel music scene.

Arsenal March into League Cup Final with Late Havertz Strike


By Rahim Abdul

Arsenal have sealed their place in the final of the League Cup following a hard-fought 1–0 victory that completed a 4–2 aggregate triumph in the semi final tie.

The decisive moment came late in the match when Kai Havertz struck to send the Gunners through, sparking celebrations among players and supporters alike.


The encounter was played at a high tempo, with both sides fully aware of what was at stake. Chelsea pushed forward aggressively, looking to overturn the deficit, but they repeatedly ran into a well organised Arsenal defence that stood firm throughout the night.

Arsenal, meanwhile, showed patience and discipline, choosing their moments carefully while protecting their aggregate advantage. The midfield battle was intense, with neither side willing to concede ground, adding to the drama of the contest.

As the match wore on, the pressure increased, especially from the visitors, who searched for a breakthrough that never came. Arsenal goalkeeper and defenders produced crucial interventions to keep their clean sheet intact.

Just when the game appeared destined to end goalless, Havertz delivered the decisive blow. The German international found space late on and calmly finished to put the tie beyond doubt, sealing victory for Mikel Arteta’s side.

The goal underlined Arsenal’s resilience and growing maturity under Arteta, as they managed the tie intelligently and struck at the perfect moment. It was also a significant personal moment for Havertz, whose contribution proved vital on a big night.

This result marks Arsenal’s first appearance in a League Cup final since 2018, ending a long wait for a return to the competition’s showpiece event. It also keeps alive their hopes of lifting silverware this season.

Arsenal will now turn their attention to the final scheduled for March 22, where they will face either Manchester City or Newcastle United, depending on the outcome of the other semi-final.

With confidence high and momentum building, the Gunners will head into the final believing they have what it takes to go all the way and claim the League Cup crown.

MCP Diaspora Denounces Fabricated Refund Claims as Malicious Propaganda

By Durell Namasani

The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Diaspora network has issued a firm and unequivocal denial regarding false reports circulating online, which alleged that its members are demanding the refund of £300,000 in donations.

In a statement addressing articles published by Maravi Post and Malawi Voice, the diaspora wing labelled the story as pure fiction and a desperate act of political sabotage. The reports, which featured a quote from an unnamed “UK-based diehard” alleging mismanagement and theft, have been dismissed in their entirety as baseless propaganda.

“This is a malicious fabrication aimed solely at tarnishing the image of the MCP. We will not sit idly by while individuals with evil intentions try to sow seeds of disunity within our party,” the statement read.

The diaspora body directly accused the  governing party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), of being behind the smear campaign. “This is the clear work of DPP propaganda machinery. The DPP should focus on implementing its own manifesto, as that is what Malawians expect, rather than wasting time trying to bring MCP into disrepute. Such tactics will not profit them anything.”

To make the party’s position explicitly clear, the statement outlined two fundamental points: First, that no such amount of money—£300,000—was ever donated to the party in Malawi by the diaspora wing. Second, that no individual or group within the MCP diaspora has demanded a refund of any sort.

The statement concluded by urging the public and party supporters to disregard the false reports, reaffirming the diaspora’s continued support for the MCP and its leadership.

Ganda takes election dispute to High Court



By Burnett Munthali

The High Court in Blantyre is set to hear a case in which former Member of Parliament for Nsanje Lalanje, Gladys Ganda, is challenging the election results for the constituency.

The hearing is scheduled to take place on March 13, 2026, and will be presided over by High Court Judge Allan Hans Muhome.

According to a court document, electoral petition number 98 of 2025, Ganda is disputing the victory of Bilal Karim, who was declared the winner of the September 16, 2025, parliamentary poll in Nsanje Lalanje constituency.

Ganda



In an earlier interview, Ganda claimed that the parliamentary race was marred by acts of cash handouts to voters and political violence, which allegedly compromised the credibility of the exercise.

The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) declared Karim, an independent parliamentary candidate who is now a member of the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the winner after he amassed 13,491 votes, compared to Ganda’s 5,714 votes.

A total of seven candidates contested the September 16, 2025, Nsanje Lalanje constituency parliamentary election.
