    The problem is bigger than overcrowded central hospitals - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A hospital that is supposed to save lives should never have to apologise for being too full to save them. Yet that is, in effect, what our central hospitals are telling us. The figures coming out of the hospitals are difficult to read without wondering how much pressure the health system can take before the consequences become even more serious. At Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), 30 women are giving birth on an average day in a labour ward with 24 beds. The hospital performs about nine

    We cannot afford to sleepwalk into another hunger crisis - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is unsettling to watch the agricultural season approach while many of the people expected to feed this country are still wondering how they will afford to plant. Across Malawi, farmers are clearing their fields and preparing for the 2026/27 growing season. But for many smallholder farmers, preparation ends there. The fertiliser is too expensive at a time when money is scarce, and the weather outlook is not reassuring. As a country whose economic fortunes remain closely tied to agriculture, th

    As I said last week, I rarely write about football. Those who know my work will attest that my interests usually lie elsewhere—governance, gender equality, public policy and the issues that shape our society. But the Malawi National Women’s Football Team’s performances at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) have done what few sporting disciplines manage to do; they have united Malawians across political, regional and social divides in celebration of excellence. Under coach Lovemore F

    CDF cannot afford haste, but it cannot afford paralysis either - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The debate that unfolded in Parliament last week over the delayed disbursement of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) resources exposed more than a disagreement between government and the opposition. It revealed the difficult balancing act facing Malawi as it embarks on the most ambitious decentralised development programme in its history. On the one hand, the government insists it is not withholding funds. Treasury says over K200 billion is available and waiting to be released once councils com

    The bigger by-election story we are not telling - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Five elective positions were filled through the June 30 by-elections: three parliamentary seats and two ward councillor positions. Voter turnout was low, and rightly so; that has become the dominant talking point. The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has expressed concern. Election observers have attributed the apathy to inadequate civic education, weak mobilisation, elections being held on working days, and a growing sense among voters that by-elections do not significantly change the national
