Chakwera administration gives people of Area 49 a new lease of life, launches K3.8 billion road project

By Linda Kwanjana

People of Area 49 in Lilongwe have every reason to smile following the launch of a tarmac project in the area.

The road has been in bad shape for a long time and launching of the project is a huge relief to residents around the area.

The project will be done jointly by Projex Group Limited and Master Construction.



Government is expected to spend K3.8 billion and will be funded through Road Fund Administration.

Speaking during the ground breaking ceremony, Lilongwe City Council Mayor Councillor Richard Banda appealed to the contractor to finish this project in time.

“Make sure to complete the project by erecting hamps road signs and a proper drainage system,” he emphasized.

He then advised the community around the area to help in securing machines that will be used for the project.

Member of Parliament for the area Alfred Jiya was all smiles that the project has finally come into reality.

He commended people of the area for their patience.

Jiya said it was sad that in the past, people around the area were contributing money to have the road graded.

The member of parliament also expressed happiness that Kaunda Road will soon be dualised.

He commended Lilongwe City Council for ensuring that road network in the city is of high standard.

In his speech, Councillor Patrick Makumba commended Lilongwe City Council for the road project.

Makumba urged the contractor to employ people from the area.

Gospel artist Luke Nyoni drops new song ‘Timamziwa’



By Chisomo Phiri

South Africa-based-Malawian gospel musician Luke Nyoni has on Monday July 17, 2023 released a new gospel song titled ‘Timamziwa’.

In an interview, the fast-rising singer said the song contains the message from act 19 vs 11 to 22 where sons of scava were doing things following what apostle Paul was doing without knowing exactly what they were doing.

“So from this story, the song illustrates same things that are happening now where most people are doing God’s ministry without knowing him (God) first.

“This simply puts our lives in dangerous situations at some point,” he said.

Nyoni said the new song can be accessed on Malawimusic.com and other social platforms like Golden City ty Tuwer, Umatha Daily; Adzukulu. com and many others.

The musician further urged his fellow gospel musicians to keep on preaching the word of God through music since music spreads messages faster and reaches out to a number of people within a short period of time.

One word to Mutharika as he celebrate birth day-Its time to relinquish power to young people

By Linda Kwanjana

Former President Peter Mutharika who is also leader of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is today celebrating his 83rd birthday in silence.

The birthday celebration comes barely weeks after the National Governing Council (NGC) of the party endorsed him as the party’s torchbearer in the forthcoming 2025 presidential polls.


But Mutharika is yet to make a decision on the matter.

If he accept to be the party’s torchbearer it means he will be contesting in the 2025 polls at the age of 85.

Most commentators have been asking Mutharika to pave the way for young people because to be the President at the age of 85 means will be completing his term while aged 90 which is just old for the presidency.

Mutharika was already bypassed by his aides while serving as President. His TIP account was heavily abused to the extent that few people surrounding him benefitted.

So this is time Mutharika should think of bowing out from power paving the way for young people.
