What we cover from Malawi
Politics and governance: reports on the presidency, Parliament, local government changes, and key policy moves that affect taxes, land, and public services. Energy and infrastructure: updates on load-shedding, power projects, road works and water supply. Economy and business: prices, trade, agriculture news — especially tobacco and maize — and how foreign investment affects jobs. Health and education: outbreaks, hospital capacity, vaccine drives, and school updates. Travel and safety: border checks, visa notes, transport strikes, and tips for visitors. Culture and society: festivals, arts, community initiatives and local voices.
We try to explain why a story matters. If a new policy is passed, we say who wins, who loses, and what it means for a family or a small business in Malawi.
