Chakwera motivates social enterprises

By Linda Kwanjana

On every good thing someone is doing motivation remains a big thing. Any hard work requires motivation.

This is exactly the reason why President Dr Lazarus Chakwera on Friday, July 14th, expressed his gratitude to the social enterprises awarded during 2023 Zikomo Presidential Awards, saying their service to the country is bringing in solutions to social problems and reducing the culture of dependency in the country.

Speaking at this year’s Zikomo Award presentation ceremony, Chakwera applauded the awardees for choosing to be part of the solution rather than creating a problem to gain a political capital or a platform to earn money.

The President said their achievements are worth celebrating as they refused to stand aside and engage in figure pointing at who is responsible for the country’s social problems or choose to stand in the way of those who want to help Malawi but rather bring solutions themselves through their innovations.



He urged them to continue their service to the nation as they have chosen to be part of those building a new Malawi whose building is in progress.

The 2023 Zikomo Presidential Awards awardees have been providing solutions through their services such as water supply, food security initiatives, youth employment, improving refugees living conditions, health and girl child education among others.

Minister of Gender, Community Development and Social Welfare, Jean Sendeza said the awarded social enterprises have improved the wellbeing of both rural and urban communities and are promoting the spirit of self-reliance as highlighted in the Malawi 2063.

She said government is committed to supporting their innovations as they positively impact Malawians.

Some of the 2023 Zikomo Presidential Awards recipients include Napoleon Dzombe, Uchembele Wabwino, BASEflow, KIBEBE, Tingathe, ACADES, Henga-Phoka and Tengani Water User’s Associations among others.

-I’m therefore not withdrawing on the basis of endorsements showered on our Party President.



One of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential aspirants Dr Paul Gadama has maintained his earlier position, saying he will still compete at the convention despite others endorsing former president Peter Mutharika

Gadama said he is aware of what is happening in the party, especially seeing some people endorsing Mutharika, but he was quick to say that the development doesn’t bar anyone from contesting.

“Yes, I will contest. The DPP is maturing. The politics being practiced clearly shows that the party is transitioning. Democracy entails freedoms. Endorsements in politics by a group or individuals show that these freedoms are safeguarded. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the endorsements for APM by some quarters or party followers,” he said.

Gadama said the endorsements do not necessarily constitute President Arthur Peter Mutharika’s stand to contest or not.

“If APM hinted as to his stand in this regard, my candidature would’ve been reconsidered. Without that, I take it the same way if other quarters endorse me or any candidate in the party. I’m therefore not withdrawing on the basis of endorsements showered on our Party President,”he said.

Gadama admitted that he did not attend the NGC meeting because he was out of the country.

Asked if such endorsement created fear in him, Gadama said not at all. He said the endorsements have never shaken him. “I have only been interested and following keenly,” he said.
