Malawi Police Services have arrested entrepreneur and socialite Dorothy Shonga, who owns D.C Brand Cloud, a local branding and marketing company,  popularly known as ‘Cash-Madam’ after being implicated in bootleg  deals at Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA).

Dorothy Shonga: I still have the burning desire to sing

Police arrested Shonga on Tuesday following investigations  that she was given a contract of  supplying golf shirt to MERA at MK75, 000.00 each while the same golf-shirt at local markets rages MK10,000.00 to MK20,000.00 each.

Out of price Shonga has been getting huge sum of money at the institution where she been dealing directly with MERA chief executive officer Collins Magalasi.

Police raided Mera headquarters on Monday  and two arrested Magalasi, communications officer Patrick Maulidi and Bright Mbewe from Mera’s procurement department.

National Police spokesperson James Kadadzera confirmed the arrests of Shonga but could not give further details.

‘Cash-Madam’ is currently being kept at Area 3 police.

MERA is among Malawi government parastatals where public funds have been ended into DPP gurus pockets.

Shonga has been using her firm “DC Brand Cloud” in getting dubious deals from former president Peter Mutharika’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government.

The ‘Cash-madam’ has recently also be “entangled” in a love relationship with rapper Tay Grin as she publicly posted messages on social media boasting about their affair, branding the  DPP politician-cum-singer as “Cash-king” with love statements.

Shonga has been living a boastful and luxurious life after got separated from her husband. She  also dominated the social media when her nude photos were  leaked to the public through social media platforms.

When asked in April 2020 during “Tikudziweni” program by Brian Banda at Times TV,  Shonga source of his riches, she boasted made money through campaign of Zambia President Edgar Lungu.

  1. Ba Malawi. You have been making news lately. Mailo Kunali mukadzi okudya matuvi. Please protect our women. These are our mothers of tomorrow. It was painful to watch such a beautiful lady eating faeces like she was not a human being. Please help that beautiful woman heal and don’t laugh at her. She needs help.

  3. this issue is complicated. the lady her quation is 75 pin and its up to MERA to look for other quatations. ine I think the problem is mera itself becoz is the one that made decision. may be issue should be how mera offered the tender and if they followed the procedures

    2. This is what we call money laundering. Instead of Collins stealing the money directly, he pretended that a private company, DC Cloud was supplying t shirts and the t shirts are then over priced because the aim isn’t to buy t shirts. The aim is to steal money

    3. The issue is not on the price of the golf shirts but rather on how the contract was given…..

  4. A real Jezebel indeed. Fake hair, fake nails, too much lipstick and edited picture full of make-up. You wonder what her real complexion is. Today morning she will look dark like on the interview she had with Banda. In the afternoon, she will look like a colored. The other day she has a booty, another day she is flattish. Talk of uncle ndiye osayamba.
    Whenever she travels, the whole world would know that she has travelled and Business class. Ndala ma zokuba ku MERA chibwezi Chake Collins Magalasi. Ma covid wo ndiye kumangogawanatu.

    School zero, Chipungu chimavutirapo. She couldn’t even answer very simple and straight forward questions from Brian Banda. What she knows best is to boast and claim that she works hard. Where.? Kogonana? Mxiiiii

  5. Anthuwa anafaatsa pa Malawipa ndithu mpakana kumazichemelera ali ndine CASH MADAM ndipo mamunache ali ndine CASH KING 🤣🥊🥊🥊💪🏾🇲🇼

  6. The 75000 per Golf shirt is not an issue, I have bought expensinve Golf Tshirt more than that price in Mark and Spencer, The problem with people in Malawi is that they want to dress well by paying less, Most of the times I have bought expensive shoes for my sibling and my wife , for example at one point I bought a CK shoes around USD300 which was more than MK200,000 and I gave the shoes to my sibling , anthu pomufunsa they asked if I can buy them a similar shoes , when I told them the fee of the shoes , they backed off, so please the 75000 depends on where she bought the Goft tishirt and it has to also depend on the agreement that she had with where she wanted to supply.

    1. Childish comment. Shows exactly what sort of a person you are. I guess you are a show off and such a boring person in company of people.

      I don’t think many people would be interested to know how much exactly you spend on clothes.

      Majority of Malawians cannot afford a 75,000 t-shirt or USD300 shoes you are claiming. Most of us can afford that.

      So keep those figures to yourself.

    3. So you are also another Thief!we will catch you!Thanx for comng forward yourself,Mbava zonse tithana nanu.Buying a shoe at 200,000 is tht somethng to be boastful of?Infact being ndalama zokuba,u cant feel the pain buying at such amount,so shame!

      1. who told you that it is stolen money , I do work and I spend my time studying and upgrading my studies as well, I don’t lose my focus and I aim high and I will keep on flying like an eagle , right now am looking to join another big organisation , so stop wasting time in your rubbish comments , invest your in education and think big

    4. People have already mentioned that the quality and type of those t-shirts is sold at around 10,000 to 20,000. What I see here is that you just want to show off that you buy expensive stuff but you haven’t Understood the issue in question here. Can you compare a Mark and Spencer T-shirt to the one bought in China and supplied dubiously at some organization without following proper procedures where it is evident that the woman was being bonked by the CEO of that Organization? Understand issue before commenting please.

    5. You are next. I am sure your genuine disposable income can not allow you that spending but because you were doing like her, life was easy. Come in the open tikufufudze ngati nawenso sugweramo.

      1. mulira magazi , I am abroad and I can afford expensive things , for your own information I left long time before Muluzi left govtb, and am enjoying my work here , the problem with Malawians is that you spend most of the times on facebook , I don’t care whatever you say, for your own information whether a rich man and a poor man , every one has 24 hours , sionse akuba other people work for their money just like the way I do, and my company can as well afford to pay me in dollars

        1. Then you cant understand the issue at hand here unless you were in malawi,that would have been fine.why comparing zinthu zosafanana?you are abroad and the scandal happened here in malawi bro. Unless if you come,its when you will understand it.

    6. I think you’re missing the point. Buying t-shirts was not the issue here. The t-shirts were just a smoke screen for stealing money.

  7. Our girls learn to work hard. And let integrity and professionalism earn us a place in the world not not at the expense of our womanhood. Shame!

    Kodi the just gone gvt was lead by a jezebelic spirit eti. Which lead to plunder of poor Malawians resources.

    1. I believe the writer was looking for a word “socialite”. It fits well. Socialist means something else.

  10. Is this case of price inflation different from that of Gafaar for the buses which he sold at an inflated price to Mutharika? Why are police then not arresting the cabinet minister Gafaar?

  11. Not corruption for a supplier to submit a tender that is higher than others is corruption if found a bribe was paid to win the tender. Collins Magalasi being part owner certainly a conflict of interest it is the money trail which will convict them.

  12. If one has followed the events leading to the arrests of all suspects so far, you will notice that the media first interrogated the suspects and the police followed the leads. Police haven’t independently done their own underground investigations before these arrests. The problem with this is that many people who stole billions and led a low lifestyle won’t easily be detected. Many might flee through neighbouring countries without being detected. The media’s next stop are another lot of high profile people whose names are already being drumed up. Ben Phiri, Peter Mutharika, Getrude Mutharika, Dausi, Mchacha,Chaponda and others equally famous. The K 1. 3tn in question can not revolve around only on the famous few but perhaps through the many proxies.Police should go underground seriously if they want to avoid fugitives.

    2. Did the police told you that?? The Malawi police is very professional and they cant arrest someone without investigating. Days are gone when the police were unable to do their job for fear of being fired or transferred

    3. People whjo flaunt their ill-gotten wealth are always easier to be caught because the evidence is there.

    1. Ali ndi katundu osaoneka bwino man. Ndiye anayesa kumeta za ku Hollywood zija , sanazithe zinangopitiliza kuononga zinthu. Anameta landing strip koma anansiyanso thengo , osaidulira. Maonekedwe ndi katundu wake zosagwirizana. Zinandipasa nseru

  18. Malawi is setting a standard against corruption. We should open a school where all African govt officials will learn how not to steal public money. Thumbs up Dr Laz. Clap clap Dr Chilima you have given me some kind of assurance of good governance

    1. Ha ha ha ha! She’ll bribe prison officers so that she is locked up in the same cell with Collins Magalasi. No waste of resources!!! ⛓🔗 👙 👄 💋 🔗⛓

      1. If Cash-Princess gets located in the same cell with my friend Collns Magalasi, what do you think will happen? kkkk. Collins is not in trouble at all. But I am sad for him and his family. Really sad because, he should have know better.

    2. The Bible says Lucifer was the most beautiful of all angels that God created and yet was booted out of heaven for sinning and hell’s fire is waiting for him! Anyway Malawi is not heaven so may be wrong doing is protectable by beauty kkkkkkkk

  21. Malawi Police, please if you do not have enough room in your cells. I am willing to accomodate this ‘dirty’ woman in my house. I have a spare room and by the way, my wife is not home. On behalf of all Malawi, I will punish her. Trust me officers!

    1. hahahahahhaha dont make me laugh brother, i didnt know Malawi has skilled men in bed who can punish such cute ladies and make them repent of all their sins lol

    2. After you punish her, I would like to punish her too. Then we can pass her back to Collins to finish her. kkkkk. She is cute but who cares

      1. Nanga awa ogulitsa ma busses awiri at triple times than normal purchasing muwamanganso….? Or because he’s serving Tonse government ministerial position so untouchable? Will Joyce Banda (another billionaire Cash madam) whose scandal is still popular even with kids, amangidwanso kapena popeza sanali wa DPP. whether police or Tonse government, we looking for fair justice ngati these arrests are not politically motivated. Simungayambe milandu ya dzulo nkusiya ya last week, sikwilirika? We would like you to start arresting those that have looted since from MCP, UDF, DPP, PP and then these current DPP gurus. Koma ku cleaner the top ruble first nde kuti mumukwilira bottom one.

        1. Zagwazatha, take it easy… do not worry. By the way your not an investigater but you are just carried away with social medias posts. You are a Cadet. The fire is going there…

  22. She is a ” Harlot of the seas”. Ngati anaba, amangidwedi, ndipo ndalama zonse zinabedwa,zibwezedwe kwa eni ake a Malawi.

    Even though a lot of Malawians have already died in our hospitals due to lack of medication, due to the lamentable corruption and theft.

    No more room for looting, and the addressing of thieves as ‘Big man’ or ‘Cash madam’.

    Let Operation Bwezani and Operation mangani mbava zeni zeni continue, without fear, favour or mercy.

  23. if “DC brand” does not mean Dorothy and Collins, then search me, these are thieves and we ask that the longest arm of the Law to deal with these plunderers

    1. Ndalama zakuba kubvuta nazo pa town. What goes around comes around.But I think her sentence will be lenient.

      1. The biggest problem ku Malawi ndi bungwe lowona za malonda, CAMA. Ku Malawi aliyense amapanga ntengo wa malonda ake mopanda the regular body nde I don’t see a problem cash madam selling the golf shirt @K75k, problem ndi wogula amene sanathe kusiyanitsa ndi another supplier at a cheaper cost.
