Akonda Supuni Yakobe writes book that unlocks power of goal setting

By Chisomo Phiri

President of the Forum for Women Accountants in Malawi (FOWAMA), Akonda Supuni Yakobe, has written a book titled “The Goal Setting Mindset – The Key to Unlocking Your Full Potential”.

In an interview with our journalist Chisomo Phiri, Yakobe said the  book delves into the transformative power of confidence, goal setting, self-belief, and perseverance, exploring the mindset and habits of highly successful individuals who have overcome adversity and achieved remarkable feats.

She said her personal challenges and experiences with self-doubt, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem motivated her to write the book.

Yakobe said she was mentored to write the book by renowned mindset mentors like Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, and Kim Calvert, who showed her the potential of thoughts in shaping reality.

“I want to share this valuable knowledge with a wider audience, inspiring others to unlock their full potential,” she said.

The female author said she launched the book on October 24, 2024, and is currently accessed directly from her and on Amazon.

She said:”Discussions are underway to stock the book in local bookstores.”

Yakobe said she hopes to inspire a culture of reading in Malawi, where she believes people do not have a strong reading culture, which can discourage writers.

She encouraged Malawians to buy the book, not just for personal gain but also to donate to schools, as she believes it has the potential to transform lives.

Yakobe is a Fellow of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA).

She holds Master of Business Administration in International Business from Amity University in India.

She also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Andrews University in Michigan, USA.

Yakobe served as president of Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) Toastmasters Club and Blantyre Toastmasters Club.

She is a Certified Leadership Trainer, Certified Leadership Coach, Certified Change Management Practitioner, Mindset Change Expert, a Public Speaker, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Akonda SY Consulting.

She has  been working for the MRA for the past 18 years and currently works as a manager in the Domestic Taxes Division.

Kaliati granted bail


By Chisomo Phiri

Principal Resident Magistrate Roderick Michongwe on Monday granted bail to United Transformation Movement (UTM) Secretary General Patricia Kaliati.

He stated that the reasons the state provided to the court for denying her bail were insufficient.

Michongwe noted that the state should have completed its investigation before making the arrest.

Kaliati



Kaliati was arrested on Thursday last week in the capital Lilongwe.

She is accused of conspiring with two others to assassinate President Lazarus Chakwera.

According to the charges, Kaliati and two others currently at large, Joseph Odala and Frank Chinedu, conspired to assassinate the head of state between March 2024 and June 2024.

By Chisomo Phiri

The United Democratic Front (UDF) has formed up a 22-member committee called the National Working Committee (NWC).

In an interview on Monday, UDF President Atupele Muluzi explained that the NWC aims to achieve regional balance, gender balance, and youthful appeal by incorporating additional members from various regions and demographics.

He said the elected members of the committee will work together to understand their roles and responsibilities, think critically, and make collective decisions to deliver a better Malawi for all.

Muluzi said:”The committee will focus on addressing critical questions such as economic development, solutions for the benefit of Malawians, and strategic guidance for the party.

“Decision-making will now be a collective process, ensuring that the views of Malawians, including women and youth, are reflected in the party’s decisions.

“The NWC is crucial in taking the aspirations and wishes of the people of Malawi into account and making decisions that align with their needs and expectations.”

On her part, UDF Treasurer General Yowoyani Greenwell hailed UDF leadership for the establishment of the committee, saying it is important for the party’s good future.

She said:”In my own view, I have welcomed the new NWC because, from what I can say, it will pave the way for the party’s good future. Yes, forthcoming developments will follow. So, to me, it is very much okay. That is perfectly fine.”

Court to decide on Patricia Kaliati’s bail request amidst supporters braving the rain



By Burnett Munthali

Lilongwe, Malawi — As the court prepares to issue a ruling on the bail request for UTM Secretary General Patricia Kaliati, a dedicated group of her supporters has gathered outside, undeterred by the rain currently falling in Lilongwe. The supporters, standing in solidarity, have remained in place awaiting the decision on whether Kaliati will be released on bail.

Principal Resident Magistrate Rodrick Michongwe, who is presiding over the case, has announced that he will deliver his ruling at 4 PM today. Kaliati is facing charges of conspiracy to murder, with allegations involving a plot against President Lazarus Chakwera.



Despite the weather, the strong presence of UTM supporters underscores the public interest and high emotions surrounding this high-profile case. The ruling is expected to draw significant attention, as it will determine whether Kaliati will continue to be held in custody or allowed temporary freedom while awaiting trial.
