‘Malawi shows me love’: Busy Signal teams up with Wendy Harawa to boost school infrastructure

Jamaican dancehall star Busy Signal jetted into Malawi on Wednesday for a charity mission under his Busy Global Initiative, teaming up with the Wendy Harawa Foundation to support education projects in Dowa and Lilongwe.

Speaking to journalists at the Bingu International Convention Centre, the musician said Malawi’s warmth and loyalty over the years had inspired him to return — this time not for a concert, but to “share the blessings”.

“Malawi shows so much love to me,” he said. “All the times I’ve been here, I remember it like yesterday. Before, I came to perform — now it’s about giving back.”

Busy Signal will help fund the construction of a school library in Mponela, Dowa, and provide support to Nkomachi Primary School in Area 49, where classroom blocks have broken window panes and urgently need repairs.

He also revealed plans to organise a tribute concert for the late Malawian music icon Lucius Banda, describing him as a pivotal figure in his artistic journey who “deserves to be honoured”.

Wendy Harawa said the partnership would make a meaningful difference for children facing barriers to education, adding that the initiative would improve learning conditions and expand access to essential resources.
