The mission statement of the Copyright Society of Malawi (Cosoma), the body which was established by the Copyright Act of 1989, says that it “promotes and protect creative works in which copyright rights exist and to ensure that the owners of such works are adequately renumated.” Really? I don’t think COSOMA is protecting the copyright […]
These are times to showcase the pride of our industry. I have toured around the exhibitions. I am extremely impressed with what we are capable of doing. I have particularly been impressed with the participation of Small and Medium Enterprises. But I am also delighted to see international exhibitors participating in this trade fair. What […]

My President turns 78 years old this July. I have not seen any evidence to suggest that he does not have full control of his faculties. He moves with energy without the use of supports, travels locally and internationally without a fuss, translates classic Latin and Greek texts for relaxation, reads books that demand heights […]
I am giving Joyce Banda the benefit of doubt, I am not going to say much except to advice her to stay clear from mainline politics. Cash gate is real! It is not just politics. It happened under her watch and she is not innocent at all. She can’t lie her way out of it […]
