By Burnett Munthali

As one way of providing better services to its customers, CTS Courier, one of the leading courier service providers in the country, will migrate to a digital system starting from 1st April 2025.

The courier service is stepping into a new era of modernized operations to make their services faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever before.

Through the digital system, customers will be able to book and pay for deliveries without physically visiting CTS Courier offices.

They will also receive real-time updates on their parcels, ensuring that they are always informed about the status of their shipments.

The new system will also facilitate faster deliveries by optimizing routes, which will lead to quicker shipments and improved efficiency.

In addition, customers will be able to track their parcels using a mobile app, making it easier to monitor the movement of their packages.

CTS Courier Managing Director, Jacquieline Bokosi, stated that the company has decided to go digital as part of its commitment to delivering the best courier experience.

She emphasized that the digital transformation aims to ensure speed, accuracy, and convenience in every shipment.

“We want our customers to be updated when they send or receive a parcel,” she said.

She gave an example of a customer in Blantyre sending a parcel to Lilongwe, explaining that once the package arrives at the CTS Courier branch in Lilongwe, both the sender and the recipient will receive notifications on their phones.

Bokosi added that this innovation will enhance transparency and efficiency in parcel deliveries, reducing uncertainties for customers.

She further stated that the company believes this initiative is a major step in its efforts to meet customer demands and expectations.

By integrating digital technology into its operations, CTS Courier is positioning itself as a leader in Malawi’s logistics sector.

With this transformation, the company is expected to set a new standard for courier services in the country.

Customers can look forward to a more convenient, reliable, and customer-friendly experience as CTS Courier embraces the digital revolution.

Members of Parliament (MPs) have been called upon to support construction of Chigumula Industrial Site which, currently, requires additional K5.6 billion to be completed.

The call was made Thursday in Blantyre when Minister of Trade and Industry, Vitumbiko Mumba, and Parliamentary Committees on Trade and on Media and Information visited Chigumula Industrial Site to appreciate progress.



Mumba said by timely financing the project, the country will start realizing billions of Kwachas that will come from the site.

“Apart from creating jobs, these industries will help in bringing forex from exports. Industry is the backbone of any economy hence we need to speed up this project,” he said.

Mumba, therefore, lobbied MPs to support the initiative by approving the requested K5.6 billion.

Board Chairperson for Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC), Godwin Ng’oma, said Chigumula Industrial Site has made  progress compared to the other four sites.

“Chigumula site has progressed a lot because it was taken as a pilot where we should learn from. We need K2.8 billion for the roads and K2.6 billion for the sewer and all finishing works. If we are given the money, come June 31, 2025, this site will be completed,” he said.

Chairperson for the Industry, Trade and Tourism and Media and Communication Cluster of Parliament, Paul Nkhoma, who is MP for Kasungu North East said they needed to inspect the site.

“Despite allocating a lot of money towards industrial sites for the past two years, we haven’t been seeing convincing progress,” he said.

He said they are now convinced with the progress made and will recommend extra finances for the project so that it is completed and handed over to investors.
