Standard One to Release Tremour’s Unreleased Songs Before Launching Solo Projects



By Rahim Abdul

The late music star Tremour, who left an indelible mark on the Malawian urban music scene, is set to have his legacy live on through his brother Standard One One.

In a recent announcement, Standard One One revealed plans to release four unreleased songs that Tremour recorded before his untimely passing.

According to Standard One One, the songs were completed but never made it to the public due to Tremour’s sudden death. He explained that the upcoming releases are meant to honor his brother’s memory and give fans a final chance to experience the artist’s creativity and message.

“Tremour had finished recording some powerful tracks that he wanted people to hear. As his brother and fellow musician, I feel it’s my duty to share them with the world so that his voice doesn’t fade away,” said Standard One One.

He further disclosed that after releasing the four posthumous songs, he will officially begin working on his own music projects, aiming to continue the family’s musical journey.

“After Tremour’s music is out, I’ll start dropping my own songs. I’ve learned a lot from him, and I want to build on that foundation,” he added.

Fans have welcomed the news with excitement and nostalgia, saying it will be emotional to hear Tremour’s voice again. Many took to social media to express support for Standard One One’s initiative, calling it a beautiful tribute to the fallen artist.

Tremour, who was known for hits like “Mpanipani” and “Chimwemwe,” passed away earlier this year, leaving a void in Malawi’s music industry. His lyrical talent and energetic performances made him one of the country’s most promising artists.

Music insiders say the upcoming releases will likely include collaborations Tremour had started with other artists, as well as solo pieces that showcase his signature blend of hip-hop and Afro-fusion.

The exact release dates for the songs are yet to be announced but Standard One One hinted that the first track could drop before the end of the year.

Sudanese Football Clubs Seek Refuge in Rwanda Amid Ongoing Conflict

By Burnett Munthali

Al Hilal, Al Merrikh, and Al Ahli Wad Madani will compete in Rwanda’s league as instability disrupts domestic football in Sudan.

Three Sudanese football clubs have confirmed they will join the football league in Rwanda this season.

The clubs—Al Hilal, Al Merrikh, and Al Ahli Wad Madani—made the request to participate in Rwanda due to ongoing conflict in their home country.

Sudan’s internal unrest has severely affected sports activities, making it unsafe and logistically challenging for teams to play in domestic competitions.

By relocating temporarily to Rwanda, these clubs aim to ensure the continuity of their football programs while keeping players, staff, and fans safe.



Al Hilal and Al Merrikh, two of Sudan’s most historic and successful teams, have a strong following and are expected to attract significant attention in the Rwandan league.

Al Ahli Wad Madani, also a top-tier Sudanese club, joins them in seeking a stable environment to maintain competitive football activities.

Rwandan football authorities have welcomed the Sudanese clubs, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and regional cooperation in times of crisis.

The move offers players a rare opportunity to continue training and competing, while also exposing Rwandan fans to high-level Sudanese football.

Sports analysts note that this arrangement could strengthen ties between the two countries and create a platform for future collaboration in regional football.

The inclusion of Sudanese teams in the Rwandan league also reflects the broader impact of conflict on sports, highlighting how political instability can disrupt national leagues and player careers.

Fans of the Sudanese clubs have expressed mixed emotions, relieved that their teams can continue playing but saddened by the ongoing situation in Sudan.

Rwanda’s league organizers are now tasked with integrating these teams into the season’s schedule, ensuring fair competition and smooth logistics for all participating clubs.

This temporary relocation underscores the resilience of sports institutions and athletes in adapting to extraordinary circumstances.

The upcoming season will test not only the sporting capabilities of the Sudanese clubs but also the league’s ability to accommodate foreign teams in a sensitive political context.

In conclusion, Sudanese football clubs’ participation in Rwanda represents both a practical solution to conflict-related disruptions and a testament to the power of sport to transcend borders in times of crisis.

A sombre yet celebratory atmosphere enveloped Lilongwe on October 25th as family, friends, and fans gathered to unveil the tombstone of the late hip-hop artist, Martse. The emotional ceremony, held at his final resting place, served as a final act of closure and a permanent tribute to the musician whose life was tragically cut short.

The unveiled tombstone, a sleek and dignified structure, now stands as a physical testament to his legacy. Its completion was met with a mixture of grief and reverence from those in attendance, marking a significant milestone in the healing process for the Malawian music community.

The event resonated strongly online, where the artist remains a frequent topic of conversation. Social media users quickly shared images and reflections. Provoice, a prominent local media page, posted a picture of the new tombstone, captioning it, “A final resting place fit for a king. Rest in Power, Martse.” The post ignited an outpouring of digital tributes.

Fans flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages. One user wrote, “Seeing this makes it so final, but what a beautiful send-off. His music lives on forever.” Another commented, “He was more than an artist; he was a voice for the youth. This stone is a symbol of the impact he made.” The collective online mourning underscored how Martse’s influence transcended his music, cementing his status as a cultural icon whose memory is now permanently etched in stone and in the hearts of his followers.

Dimba Secures Speaker Bid in MCP Shake-Up

The Malawi Congress Party caucus has anointed Peter Dimba as its candidate for the powerful role of Speaker of the National Assembly, a decisive move that sidelines fellow contender Sam Kawale. The selection, confirmed late Tuesday, sets the stage for a significant leadership shift within the house and has ignited a flurry of reactions across the political landscape.

Dimba, the Member of Parliament for Lilongwe South and former chairperson of the Public Appointments Committee, is now the presumptive favourite for the position when the new house convenes. His victory within the party caucus over Kawale, who had publicly declared his ambition for the role, signals a consolidated front from the opposition party.

Political analyst Mzondi Mzomera described the choice as a “strategic and unsurprising pick.” He stated, “Dimba carries significant parliamentary experience and a reputation for being firm. The party has chosen a known quantity who they believe can manage the house effectively and uphold the executive’s agenda, a crucial consideration for any ruling party.”

However, the decision has drawn criticism from some quarters. “This feels like a missed opportunity for a more unifying figure,” commented civil society activist Grace Banda. “While Dimba is competent, his partisan stance is well-documented. One would have hoped for a candidate perceived as more neutral to foster constructive debate across the aisle.”

Reached for comment, a triumphant Peter Dimba expressed his gratitude to the party. “I am deeply humbled by the confidence my colleagues have placed in me,” Dimba said. “This is not a personal victory but a call to service. My focus, if elected by the full assembly, will be to uphold the integrity of our parliamentary democracy, ensure robust debate, and serve every Malawian by steering the house with fairness and dedication.”

All eyes now turn to the formal election in the National Assembly, where Dimba’s ascension is widely anticipated.

Fueled by the memory of their 1-0 triumph that ended a four-year winless streak, The Nomads are charging into the clash with confidence. Team coach Bob Mpinganjira, in a press briefing, declared his squad is ready for battle and determined to claim the crucial three points.

“We are geared for battle and we are determined to win,” Mpinganjira stated. “I have told the boys to convert the chances that will come their way.”

However, the path to victory won’t be without its hurdles. Coach Mpinganjira confirmed the team will be missing key players due to injury, including defenders Chimwemwe Nkhoma and Mphatso Kamanga, as well as attacker Gaddie Chirwa.

In a boost to their frontline, striker Clement Nyondo has recovered and is available for selection, offering a critical offensive option as Wanderers aim to unleash another strike force against their fiercest rivals.
