Malawi’s national fuel procurement is increasingly scandalous. Details of a proposed deal by the state bypassed the National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) to permit the equally struggling Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC) to illegally award a 650 billion kwacha fuel supply contract to a South African company suspected of having Malawian ties at Njerwa in Lilongwe is mind-boggling. investigativeplatform-mw.org…

Rich countries’ problems.

Apparently, the airplane mode is a myth. Airlines insist on it because they "think people won’t stop yapping on their cell phones during flights, leading to more instances of “air rage.” That’s why regulators continue to ban phone calls and data usage on planes; it’s just plain annoying." qz.com/phone-airplane-mode-m…

Thanks. I've participated in and presented at various academic conferences, but this one was truly exceptional. Engaging in discussions and debates with scholars whose work I studied as a media and communication student was both enlightening and rewarding. Without a doubt, this stands out as the highlight of my year in 2024.

For a native English speaker, it is too easy to take for granted that people in countries you visit will be eager to speak your language. However, that is less true in China than a few years ago. economist.com/china/2024/12/…

This vacancy is a good case of the broadening scope of journalism expertise. As they say, the illiterate of 21 Century are not those who cannot write or read but those who will not learn, unlearn and relearn: news24.simplify.hr/vacancy/c…

A prejudiced mind is a galaxy of misinformation, so they say. Political polarisation in Malawi is a fertile ground for misinformation. Everyone wants to confirm their prejudices. People are making fools of themselves. It’s not pretty, and it’s dangerous for the country.
