AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Miss World fallout: Malawi’s Miss Malawi Organisation is under fresh scrutiny after reigning queen Thandi Chisi was reportedly dropped in favour of Ireen Navicha for Miss World 2026, with organisers citing age confusion while critics point to public trust issues and alleged favouritism. Pageant spotlight: Despite the controversy, Navicha still made history by reaching the Top 40 at the Vietnam pageant, Malawi’s best-ever showing. Sports—football: FCB Nyasa Big Bullets thrashed Silver Strikers 5-0 in the FDH Bank Premiership first-round finale, with Ephraim Kondowe bagging a hat-trick as Bullets surged to the top. Sports—basketball: Bravehearts retained the International Basketball Challenge title, beating Zambia’s Green Buffaloes 93-55 in Lilongwe. Culture & heritage: Ngoni royalty and leaders gathered for the Umhlangano wa Maseko Ngoni in Ntcheu, with Vice President Ansah attending and calls for unity and cultural preservation dominating the programme. Community & development: The Nsanje-Chikwawa People’s Conference produced the Nchalo Declaration, urging government to commit to dated infrastructure and service targets for the Shire Valley. Arts & society—media support: NBM plc backed NPL’s Mother’s Fun Run 2026 with K40 million to boost health care awareness for mothers and newborns.
