  1. Koma ndiye Malawi wathu watentha.MCP nayo izabwera ndi ake a pakati ngati ingazawine chisankho mu 2019 koma kaya this game of numbers, Mpoto plus Kumwera yankho lake ndi DPP.

  2. Dr Benson Tembo was far much better than this lomwe speaking idiot Sumbuleta. Uzingodalira tima director takoto basi

  3. Kodi mukuti Sumbuleleyo Ali ndi experience ya broadcasting? Alibenso degree. Zoba wa diploma koma kuopseza anthu basi.

  4. Here is a guy who was removed from MEC because he did not have the rightful qualifications for Communications Officer, now you are saying he is an MBC DG? This is ridiculous. You are rendering those who toil to get Degrees and Masters useless.

  5. Who cares! We stopped watching TVM or listening to MBC many years nthawi ya Bingu. Zodiak is our radio for news, Matindi for bwalo la alakatuli and sports, Star Radio for the English Premier league and ife a ku Bt its Times TV for local televesion. After all that, then we go to GOTV to watch the rest of the international TV.

    MBC is just a propaganda mill for the ruling party of the day since the times of UDF, DPP and Bingu, JB and now DPP and Peter. That will never change until the policy of the public broadcaster is completely overhauled into a new Communications Act. As of now, its not a public broadcaster but a ruling party broadcaster.

  6. Nawenso Osman mpaka lero sukuwadziabe amene anathandidzira kubera mavoti? Let me remind you that Zodiak was the official broadcaster of MEC results. Mapwala ako owolawo.

  7. Though I do not know the credentials of Sumbuleta, he could be better and more mature than the childish and stupid Bright Malopa.

  8. Who cares! We do not watch nor listen to MBC but Zodiak and Times TV

  9. Bwana Sumbuleta vuto lawo Pano ndi kukakamiza a kazi Pano pa MBC kuti awayamwe, awagwire maliseche. Ife tithandizeni bwanawa akutisoowetsa mtendere. Akakuyitana makamaka after 5 umangodziwiratu kuti akufuna ukawaseweretse maliseche. Mai Kaliati tithandizeni.

  10. Ypu mean these days you can have Directors and controllers with MSCE? There is no graduate on the whole list of 90 percent of alomwe -very stupid Board leavimg out people with good qualifications -masters degrees.A shame to Malawi.Time is coming soon for your downfall mark my words.Mulungu simunthu.Amene mukuponderezedwa ku MBC gwadani mawondo anu kwa mulungu.Who new that Bright Malopa would leave MBC? There are people who deserve promotions but kusankha agaru.

  11. Omwewa a Sumbuleta we have sat together kuma stands at Kamuzu stadium supporting Wanderers and buying freezes while the baking sun hit us hard, lero he is a Directors only because he is Lhomwe. Malawi will remain poorest unless meritocracy is implemented.

  12. Nonse amene munathandizila kubela chisankho nthawi yanu ndi ino yoti akubwezeleni zomwe adakulonjezani !

  13. Bola Sumbuleta at least. Kodi amene mukunyoza inu, nanga akamubwenzera Bright Malopa ndiye muti bwanji?

  14. I guess congratulations are in order to those promoted. But, please, could someone share the qualifications of these guys on this forum? tiwadziwe nanga. Even eno akewo could do so.

  15. All from Lomwe belt? No, not true. Chimbizga is from the Northern region to be specific from Mzimba while Mgeme is from Central region.

  16. No women why there is Jane gogodus at MBC an old employee why not consider her iiiiii shame you want ladies to be promoted after you see their pants?

  17. MBC is an extension of the ruling party so there are no merit consideration in these Board rubber stamped appointments

  18. asumbuleta musinthe khalidwe kuzikonda too much mwaiwala munali ayani inu respect your fellow journalists shem on you

  19. The board is a sham. How do you confirm people without proper qualifications? This is a sick country. The board is afraid the appointing officer, President Mutharika.

  20. DG Sumbuleta kuchosa Dr Tembo,You fought hard with Mngomo to remove Dr Tembo.He has never ready any news on radio what promotion? kodi ku Board mumaonera chani kuti anthu ayendetse MBC.No wonder MBC wont improve.What combination of MBC management.

    Congrats Sumbuleta pitiliza kwabvula azimai pa MBC as usual.

  21. Sumbuleta tsopano. This is good news for Mrs. Mirriam Chiromo, the lady working at Malawi Savings Bank Limbe branch…,.

  22. Mayo ineeeeeeeeeeeeeee let us all listerning to ZBS If you to hear the true story

  23. Very gender insensitive. MBC has women who have some reasonable education who could fill some of these posts. Their management team is like a seminary or a Muslim graveyard: only men allowed.
    We once had Emma Kaliya , Emmie Chanika, Seodi etc who could have fought for the representation of women in management. I guess they are now retired, frustrated!!!!
