Malawi edges closer to fuel relief as G2G Diesel starts discharge in Mozambique

By Rahim Abdul

NACALA, Mozambique Hopes of easing Malawi’s fuel shortages have brightened following the arrival of the MV Virgo vessel at the Port of Nacala, carrying 22 million litres of diesel under a Government-to-Government (G2G) arrangement.

The ship, which earlier offloaded 28 million litres of petrol in Tanga, Tanzania, docked in Nacala earlier this week and has begun discharging the diesel, which will be transported to Malawi by rail.



According to National Oil Company of Malawi (Nocma) spokesperson Raymond Likambale, the fuel consignment is part of a broader effort to stabilize the country’s supply chain and reduce the recurrence of pump queues.

“We have already started the discharge process in Nacala, and diesel is en route to Malawi. We expect petrol to start arriving by Friday,” Likambale confirmed.

This consignment is the latest in a series of fuel deliveries under a strategic bilateral deal aimed at strengthening energy security in Malawi, which has recently faced persistent shortages due to forex constraints and logistical bottlenecks.

Nacala Port continues to play a critical role in Malawi’s fuel import strategy, offering a shorter and more cost-effective route compared to others in the region.

The Colour of Rain’: A new chapter for Malawian Literature unfolds in Blantyre


By Rahim Abdul

The Malawian literary scene received a vibrant boost on July 27, 2025, with the official launch of The Colour of Rain, a novel by local author Anthony Basil Manyozo.

Held in Blantyre, the event drew book lovers, academics, and fellow creatives who hailed the book as a meaningful contribution to the country’s growing body of homegrown literature.

The author, Manyozo, revealed that he invested K6 million of his own funds into publishing the novel an act he described as both personal and necessary for preserving authentic Malawian storytelling.


“I wanted to tell a story that is ours, that speaks to the real tensions of love, class, and aspiration along the beautiful shores of Lake Malawi,” Manyozo explained.

Set in Monkey Bay, Mangochi, the novel follows an emotionally charged romance between a humble fisherman and a Clinical Officer, touching on social divisions that still define many relationships in Malawi.

Renowned book reviewer Foster Benjamin lauded the novel’s rich local imagery and cultural grounding:
“You don’t have to leave Malawi to tell a powerful story. Anthony’s words bring the lake to life you can almost feel the breeze and hear the water. This is Malawian literature rooted in place and people.”

Delivering a thought-provoking address, guest of honour Professor Francis Moto used the occasion to challenge writers to remain committed to their craft despite the growing distractions of the digital age.


“Writers should not allow social media to replace depth. Stories like this one remind us why books still matter,” he said.

In a gesture of support, Professor Moto purchased five copies of the novel, pledging to donate copies to the University of Malawi Library and the Catholic University to inspire a culture of reading among students.

With The Colour of Rain now available in bookstores and local outlets, Manyozo’s launch signals more than just a new book on the shelf it marks a reaffirmation of storytelling as a powerful mirror of Malawi’s social fabric.
