Chidanti Malunga now Tobacco Commission CEO
Tobacco regulators, the Tobacco Commission has hired former UTM publicity secretary Joseph Chidanti-Malunga as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Malunga an irrigation engineer who was a lecturer at Lilongwe University for Natural Resources before joining politics, has confirmed the appointment.
Chidanti Malunga was UTM Party spokesperson from its formation until some months ago when he announced that he was returning back to teaching at the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
He claimed to have been on sabbatical leave to fulfill his political interests but the leave days elapsed.
Malunga replaces Kayisi Sadala who was sent on forced leave to enjoy his accumulated leave days prior to the expiry of his contract.
Tobacco Commission officials are refuting claims that Malunga’s appointment is political, saying he underwent normal interviews.

This country has gone to the dogs
Congratulations Dr.
Wishing you all the best.
Monga Diso la dzika tili pano kuonetsetsa mmene boma akuliyendesela koma tidzakumana kuja kukazacha 2025. Dyelelani ndinthu.
nde inu moti mukuganiza kut 2025 dipipi nkuzawina ndithu??? mmalawi mommuno???
Machimo a MCP anali ofiira ngati kapezi koma anayera ngati matalala. DPP inachimwa mochepa kuyerekeza ndi MCP. Mwachitsanzo Dpp imaba zaboma pomwe MCP inandiberapo mbuzi ndi abakha anga koma ndinayikhululukira ndikuyivoteranso. So don’t count DPP out.
Dr Malunga is more educated than Kaisi who brought a lot of confusion in the tobacco industry.Remember the courts injunctions on sales and decree he made.The guy was clueless as CEO.
I know it pains when someone speaks the truth,
Our country’s change for the better goes very slowly because of this behavior and act, we want to motivate people for our own good not the good of the whole nation. I speak this because of what has happened. This Man left his job and joined politics on the basis he want to save people of of the country in politics but after losing Parliamentary seat and not appointed as cabinet minister he quit politics saying I will come back during voting time.
Is it true that he want to save Malawi people or he is only seeking green pasture for Himself?
Look now the government wants to please him and they have done you hear soon he will be back to politics.
To serve the country it’s not only having the big position but to work hard and honestly on the position you’re.
This act has failed us for long time where people disguise themselves that they want to serve people but that is not the reality that’s where we see they only come back on campaign periods.
If we want country to move forward and to good direction we have to avoid people like these.
I many will not like this but this true.
Imeneyi ndiye 1 million jobs??
Timaona ngati anthu omwe salipantchito muwapedzera ntchito?
Moti mmalawi monse muno mulibemo amene sali well qualified ngati mr malunga?
Moti amphawife opsa ndi dzuwa tsiku lonse la thunthu kokaponya voti mudzatilemba litiro or yotsetsa mumiseumu?
Poti ntchito zonse mkumapangira nokhanokha.
Kutsetsa mmitsika mkapedzamo Mr chakwera ndi Mr chilima
Ndiye ife tipange chani?
nanga inu muli ndi pepala lokalowera kumeneko?? tatiyeni tizibangula pano chonchi basi
Politicians are the worst type of human beings
Not a fan of the Alliance but this is good politics from Chakwera. These are the people who worked hard for Alliance victory. Keep him happy and not out there angry, considering DPP is rebuilding.
Abe ndalama tsopano. Tonse alliance of thieves. What has Chidanti ever shown, that qualifies him to be CEO anywhere? Even of public toilets association. Let along the countries main forex earner? This Chakwera guy is stupid and useless, clueless beyond belief. Bolanso old man muntharika. This is a non starter. Tinabetsa vote
Mbuli ngat iwe ungafanane ndi Chidanti, mwina sudziwa, ndi Dr Chidanti, munthu wa PhD, a lecturer.. lecturer wapa LUANAR nde uzikati wapanga chani? 4.5 years counting udakalira…umafuna kupite Mchacha???
In your small head,Kukhala lecture qualifies one to be CEO of the biggest foreign currency earner of a country?Ndinu achitsilu ngati mukunganiza choncho. This job shouldn’t be given to a political hack like your uncle chidanti.
Bolako amuganizila
Surely the Tonse government is highly compromised on integrity. At least DPP was cautious and never interfered on CEO appointments. Procedures were being followed. But Chakwera is too excited and casual in his appointments focusing on ‘pay-back period’ forgetting that there is tomorrow. The good thing is that Malawians are keenly watching. But surely bringing politics into the position of CEOs is disastrous. So, in the wisdom of abusa, both the board and CEOs and management must be politically affiliated to the ruling party? Shame .
ndiwe psyutadi mwa dzina lako…bola dipipi chani????
Congratulations Dr.Chidanti…You are very fit to be the CEO.
Please try your best,lobby for more better buyers.Farmers are in troubles very much.Tobaccp growing is very laborious,same villages even faill to have MK200,000 cash,after their sales.
Muli masuzgo mumakaya yakulu.
I hope you will be a CEO that will rescue villagers interns of finding nice donors,isn’t it Hon.Malunga?

So somebody is stupid enough to believe a failed politician can do the job at tcc? Let’s wait and see. I hope he doesn’t use the entity to finance utm party.
You think like a mouse saulosi and you stink. Who said failing to win an election is failure?
Where is the correlation between the two?
ndipo inu, umbuli tafika poyaluka nawotu pa internet
Its hard work. Well earned, Malunga. Keep it up, always.
-a well wisher
Well qualified. Very intelligent. He deserves the position. Whether it’s a reward I don’t care. Anatipula kwambiri kuti anyapapi achoke Boma. Nayo adyerere
Malunga resigned from politics less than a month ago. When was the job advertised and how long was flighted before the interviews were done. Recruitment is a long process. How long did it the whole process take. Chakwera nd Chilima don’t Malawians for fools. We know what you are doing. You advised Malunga to cosmetically resign so you could offer him the job on a silver platter so that he should be seen as he has been planted through politics. This is another blunder by Tonse and you are slowly losing your steam. We shall see. Sending someone on leave does not mean the person has been dismissed. I guess Sadala is being investigated. Why not place someone in an acting capacity the way you have done at MBC? Shall we say anytime Malawians should see an advert for the DG of MBC? Why are you rushing to fill positions of CEOs of some organisations and delay elsehwere. We know your tricks – you want to fill all the positions with your useless people, but not qualified people.
Zimaipa zili m’manja mwa wina – lero zili mwa iwo zawakomera.
Iwo omwewa amanena kuti anzawo aja amakondera, lero iwonso akuchita zomwezo.
Khutu lagontha tsopano ndi zonona.
Ma MP awo ndiye mmmmm palibe chilipo
2025 sikale
They need to give jobs to the jobless who can not find work on their own, There is another useless man without any papers who was given a position of Director at OPC . His name is Bendulo. The stupid Zangazanga actually created a position for him. The dude has no papers.
Akulu zilibe ntchito mukunenazo. He is qualified for the job, he attended interviews and passed. We know some uneducated people ( we can even mention them) who were hired just because they were supporting that club of thieves. Mmafuna kuti asakhonze interview chifukwa choti adakhalapo wa ndale? What we are witnessing now is a big improvement! Chidanti Malunga deserves that job.
Komanso on a lighter note, his PhD is guenuine osati zija ena amakagula ku Yerusalemu zija.
Nothing wrong he deserves and his papers make changes to make people to close mouth.
You have my back. Joseph Chidanti was my contemporary at The Malawi Polytechnic from joining in Oct 1989. A well spoken and humble dude but very intelligent. Thanks LMC for picking someone not considering where he comes from. DPP ili pa maliro oopsya. Akulilira chamkati. DPP lost it all. No matter how wrong the Tonse government will be, Northerners will never ever vote for DPP. Zigawenga zoipa. Namkumwa kuzayesera ku bakila north za sukulu akuti testing…testing. Zopanda mchere.
Ngulukira, ha ha ha!!!I don’t think you know what you are doing,And to my observation you are not a norther.I am not even seeing north ikuvotera Tonse in 2025.Iswear before My True God, Subuhana wa Ta Allah.Ndithu Mphambe anangofuna kuwaonetsa a Malawi khalidwe la Tonse kkk.Tiyeni Nazo
