NICO Group has honoured Nyasa Times’ seasoned scribe, Duncan Mlanjira accepting to pursue a virtual Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalists, which due to vigorous learning process is usually held physically in South Africa.
For years, NICO Group has been offering this scholarship to one journalist to attend a physical training course in South Africa which was however not the case for the 2020 intake that Mlanjira attended due to CoVID-19 pandemic.

NICO’s media liaison officer Mbumba Mlia, explained during the event, at their refurbished NICO House in Blantyre, that since Mlanjira accepted not to travel it was something they appreciated and in his honour decided to make the official handover of the certificate, which could have been presented with the same glamour in South Africa if he had attended the course physically.

Join us to celebrate the launch of the first ever State of the Newsroom for Malawi (2021). This inaugural issue focuses on corruption in the media in Malawi. With a third of the country’s budget lost to corruption each year, what can the media do about it? How does political influence impact on reporting corruption, and just how widespread are the first-hand reports of corruption amongst journalists in the Malawian newsroom?
