MRP clarifies failure to appear on the 2025 ballot box


By Vincent Gunde

The 14th registered Revolutionary Party in Malawi – Muvi wa Chilungamo (MRP) has claimed that many Malawians are disappointed and annoyed hearing nothing of the Revolutionary Party participating in the much-anticipated 16th September, 2025 general elections.

The Revolutionary Party says it is aware that many Malawians had hopes and faith that the 7th Republic will be formed by the Revolutionary Party and that Malawi will now have a representative government of the people, for the people and by the people but unfortunately, citizens of Malawi are not yet ready for the Revolution.

The Revolutionary Party says its forensic investigation and analysis are pointing to two major political parties in the country to win the 16th September, 2025 elections MCP or DPP saying citizens have made their mind for one of these two parties to get into government.

Writing in a statement signed by its President Bantu Saunders Jumah, Secretary General Greyson Mikuwa and Deputy Secretary General Ayami Anusa, the Revolutionary Party says Malawians vote through tribalism, nepotism, and absolute ignorance describing these three as dangerous ills.

The Revolutionary Party says the 2025 elections are not about the development of the country and people but ignorance, tribalism, and nepotism observing that because of these harmful effects, the party could not participate in a contest where the voters are blanketed in the three viruses.

It says for the sake of rebuilding, restoration, revival, reconstruction, resuscitation and recovery of the country, the Revolutionary Party will embark on vigorous “Mindset Change project” to infuse patriotism, conformity, Order, and Unity so that by 2030 Malawians will go to vote for a true representative government not tribalism, not ignorance and not nepotism.

The Revolutionary Party says its Mindset Change project will be asking citizens what they expect of the forthcoming government and will compile a document which will be put on the table to the two major political parties likely to win the elections.

It says the Revolutionary Party will enter coalition with such a party so that it goes with them to make sure what is in the document is implemented and done saying on the 12th to 14th September, 2025 they will hold a press conference where they will announce which political party has signed the people document, or communique.

“As from 23rd September, 2025 when a new government will be unveiled, we will continue our nationwide campaign for Mindset Change so that by 2030 Malawians will not vote in ignorance, through tribalism or because of nepotism, “reads the Revolutionary statement in part.

The Revolutionary Party says it will soon hold national press conference to notify and inform the country about the future of the party, the followers, and the people of Malawi claiming that people must come first before any political party, politicians or tribe and Malawi must come first before any individual interests and gain.

President Chakwera pledges inclusive development for Nkhata Bay North

President Chakwera pledges inclusive development for Nkhata Bay North

By Burnett Munthali

President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has reaffirmed his commitment to equitable development by highlighting the construction of the Mpamba–Chikwina–Usisya road and the provision of piped water to Nkhata Bay District.

He emphasized that these projects align with his vision of ensuring that all Malawians have equal access to essential services and infrastructure.



“Just as we have constructed roads and brought piped water to other parts of Nkhata Bay and Rumphi districts, we are doing the same in Nkhata Bay North,” Chakwera stated.

He further acknowledged that since the people in this part of Nkhata Bay are predominantly farmers, there is a need to construct factories within the area.

Chakwera explained that such factories would enable the local community to process their agricultural produce locally before transporting it to markets in Mzuzu.

Senior Chief Nyaluwanga expressed appreciation for the government’s development efforts, including the extension of electricity to the area.

“In Nkhata Bay North, we now have electricity. For the first time, people of this area have been granted loans through NEEF,” said the chief.

He noted that despite the impact of drought in some areas, the government provided relief items to affected communities.

Aspiring Member of Parliament Ephraim Mganda Chiume also took the opportunity to appeal to the government for the renovation of the Nkhata Bay jetty.

He pointed out that people in the area face challenges accessing water transport due to the poor condition of current facilities.

Chiume further suggested that the introduction of a new water vessel would help reduce accidents caused by the use of unseaworthy boats.

Chakwera urges patience amid development gaps in Mzuzu: Promises support for youth and women entrepreneurs

By Burnett Munthali

President Lazarus Chakwera has called on Malawians to remain patient and maintain a positive outlook as his government continues to address the economic and infrastructural challenges facing the country.

Speaking during a public rally at Kavibale Market in Mzuzu City, Chakwera acknowledged the frustrations of citizens but assured them that he is aware of their struggles and is actively working towards solutions.

The president was accompanied by his running mate, Vitumbiko Mumba, during the engagement, which attracted a large crowd of supporters and residents.



Chakwera highlighted the infrastructural deficiencies in Mzuzu, noting that the city is growing rapidly and that existing development efforts have struggled to make visible impact.

“What I have noted is that this city indeed lacks proper infrastructure. Even though we have been providing developments here and there, it’s hard to show impact because the city is growing,” said Chakwera.

He emphasized that while the government cannot tackle every development need on its own, it is empowering citizens—especially youth and women—through access to loans aimed at supporting small-scale businesses.

“Since government cannot manage to do all, that is why we are providing loans so that youths and women are provided with income to do businesses that will also help boost growth of this city,” he added.

Meanwhile, Malawi Congress Party Regional Governor for the North, Joseph Chavula, who is also an aspiring candidate for the Mzuzu City South West constituency, made a passionate appeal for improved road networks in the city.

He stressed that enhancing road infrastructure would not only ease movement but also contribute to Mzuzu’s overall economic development.

President Chakwera’s message of hope and empowerment underscores his administration’s focus on inclusive development through citizen participation.

However, as the demands for better infrastructure intensify, the government will need to match its rhetoric with tangible action.

Mzuzu City’s rapid urbanization calls for urgent strategic investments that go beyond loan schemes to include large-scale infrastructure planning, if the city is to truly thrive.

S Bizzo champions Malawi’s food heritage with traditional festival in Blantyre

By Rahim Abdul

In a bold move to preserve and promote Malawi’s rich culinary culture, renowned cultural promoter and youth leader Sam Magwira, popularly known as S Bizzo, is set to host a traditional food festival in Blantyre on September 7, 2025.

The event, organized under the banner of Team Ndi Chifukwa Chani (TNCC), comes on the heels of a successful edition held in Lilongwe on July 12, which drew massive public interest.

S Bizzo



S Bizzo says the festival aims to reconnect Malawians, especially the youth, with their roots through food.

The event will feature local favorites such as Futali, M’godo, and Thobwa, all prepared using indigenous methods. But the experience goes beyond the plate attendees can expect live cultural performances, storytelling, cooking demos, and interactive sessions on the historical and nutritional value of local dishes.

Calling the initiative a cultural movement rather than just an event, S Bizzo has invited corporate sponsors, community groups, and individuals to support the cause, either financially or through materials and services.

He emphasized that the festival will create space for traditional cooks, small food vendors, and artists to showcase their work and gain exposure.

With plans already underway to take the festival to other cities like Mzuzu and Zomba in the future, the Blantyre edition is shaping up to be a significant cultural moment.

The event is also gaining momentum online, with social media hashtags like #Zamsangulutso and #NdiChifukwaChani leading the buzz.
