By Dean Chisambo

Sunking Malawi has unveiled a new logo, introducing refreshed elements alongside a new marketing campaign aimed at strengthening its brand identity.

Speaking during the launch in Lilongwe, Sunking Malawi Marketing Leader, Collins Moyo, said the new logo tells a story that reflects the company’s journey and direction, while taking customers and partners along.

Mhone – its about reflection



Moyo explained that the logo is a “true refreshment” of who Sunking is as a brand.

“As you know, as time goes on, brands evolve,” he said. “At Sunking, we have evolved from the time we started operations fifteen years ago to where we are now.”

He added that this was the right time to refresh their look to match their modern identity and global positioning.

On his part, Renewable Energy Industries Association of Malawi (REIAM) President, Brave Mhone, said the new logo represents the solutions that Sunking has been providing and will continue to deliver in Malawi’s energy sector.

“As a sector, this is also refreshing,” said Mhone. “It shows a renewed commitment to serving Malawians, growing renewable energy, and aligning with both national and global development agendas.”

He emphasized that the rebranding is not just about a new look, but a reflection of Sunking’s long-term commitment to the sector.

According to Moyo, Sunking currently operates 14 shops across the country and has powered more than 180,000 households nationwide.

Mhone further highlighted that only about 25.9% of Malawian households are connected to electricity, and of this, 14% rely on solar off-grid solutions—demonstrating the crucial role Sunking and similar companies play in expanding energy access.

Jane Ansah rallies support in Mchinji, urges voters to back Mutharika

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) running mate Dr. Jane Ansah has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to restoring hope for Malawians, as she wrapped up her campaign activities in Mchinji District.

Writing on her Facebook page, Dr. Ansah said she was joined by the party’s Vice President for the Central Region, Alfred Gangata, in delivering a message of encouragement to the people.



She noted that wherever they stopped in Mchinji, including Nsundwe where supporters invited them to greet the people, the message from citizens was consistent.

According to Dr. Ansah, residents told her that they had suffered for the past five years and were ready for change.

“They said, tell our leader that we are prepared and ready to redeem ourselves. The vote we will surely give,” she explained.

Dr. Ansah emphasized that her central role was to remind the people that when casting their ballots, they must look for the image of DPP leader Arthur Peter Mutharika.

She added that voters should identify the party’s maize cob symbol, clearly marked inside the ballot box.

“What matters most is ensuring that the mark is made inside the box,” she stressed, reinforcing the importance of a valid vote.

She then urged Malawians to come out in large numbers on September 16 and cast their votes early in the day before the 4 p.m. deadline.

Her appeal called for discipline, patience, and peaceful participation in the voting process, highlighting the DPP’s readiness to reclaim leadership through the ballot.

Dr. Ansah’s message in Mchinji underscores the DPP’s focus on mobilizing grassroots support in rural areas, where frustrations over economic hardships have become a rallying point.


Political observers note that Dr. Ansah’s remarks reflect the DPP’s strategy of framing the 2025 elections as a choice between five years of economic struggle and a return to what the party portrays as more stable governance under Arthur Peter Mutharika.

By emphasizing voting discipline and the party’s maize cob symbol, she is also addressing common concerns about spoiled ballots in rural constituencies.

With Mchinji being a stronghold of competitive politics, the ability of the DPP to convert popular frustrations into actual votes may prove crucial in shaping the outcome of the elections.
