Kamuzu Day Fallout: Malawi’s May 14 commemoration turned chaotic in Lilongwe as police fired tear gas to stop an MCP-linked wreath-laying push to the Kamuzu Mausoleum, triggering arrests, rival claims over who was barred, and fresh calls for independent scrutiny after HRDC and others condemned “excessive” force. Political Accountability: Government says the official event was run by the Kamuzu family and Kandodo, while MCP and rights groups argue the state sidelined Chakwera and politicised a national heritage site. Rule of Law & Courts: Supreme Court action eased pressure on Press Corporation Limited after it replaced a 75% payment condition with a K200m bank guarantee; meanwhile, SFFRFM was ordered to pay K18.5bn in a contract dispute. Food & Farming Pressure: Malawi faces mounting fertiliser and fuel strain as global shipping and Hormuz-linked disruptions threaten input availability, while experts urge a shift away from fertiliser dependence toward agroecology. Trade & Costs: A new UN trade update flags non-tariff measures as a major export cost driver for Malawi. Mining Push: Government unveiled plans to lift mining’s GDP contribution toward 10% by 2030, betting on investment and transparency.
