Malawi Polytechnic set to produce first PhD graduate in IT: Thokozani Chimkono
The Polytechnic is set to produce its first Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) graduate in Applied Sciences (Information technology).
The college’s website says this follows Thokozani Chimkono’s successful defense of his PhD thesis.
The title of the thesis is ‘fast typing central-Bantu keyboard; optimization language structure, algorithms and models’.
Chimkono defended his thesis on Friday before a panel of examiners.
“However, based on the University of Malawi postgraduate policy, the award of the PhD degree can only be done upon final recommendation of the University senate,” says the information on the website.
The college says Chimkono will have to fulfill other examination requirements before he can be presented to University senate for recommendation for the PhD award.
Speaking during a cocktail organised to celebrate his success, Chimkono thanked all those who assisted him throughout his academic journey.

Wrong picture used to illustrate a story about graduation. Where is his gown? Where is his PhD hood?
Thesis should be assesse6 by Sulemani to check if it will benefit Malawians at large
congrats to Mr Chimkono, proud of you
koma Jerusalem yavuta guys kkkkkkk, Ben Phiri woyeeee, Jerusalem university woyeeee kkkkkk nane ndikagula yanga komko. Ben Phiri I need your help on how I can communicate with the guys from Jerusalem
Komatu Jerusalem College nde mukuyikokatu kkkkkkkkkk a Nibe Jerusalem Bible college
Congrats my former Lecturer for making it; proud of you
Owen Khamula, the title is misleading. It is not the first PhD from Poly but rather from that particular department and specialty.
Moreover, poly is currently under UMIMA
The title says first in IT, when did Poly produce another PhD in IT
Congratulations Dr Chinkono
Good development. Congrants Thokozani. Sizomangogula PhD ku Jerusalem.
What is the connection of the picture comment with this story.Very poor reporting
Don’t you see that he is presenting his thesis? Koma iwe ndiwe mbuli yachabechabe. This shows you have never done any research in your life! Did you even read the article????? Geeeez!!! You must have graduated from Jerusalem Bible University and your roommate was Ben Phiri!
This was during defending hence the pic
