Timpuza back at MBC, replaces Spiwe Banda

Former presidential Press Secretary Timpuza Mwansambo Mwale, who was fired for drawing two salaries from Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) and State House has been given a job to return at the state broadcaster.

Timpuza, formerly of MBC, has been appointed Regional Manager for the centre, a position which was held by Spiwe Banda.

Banda was on holiday and has been told that she is being moved to Blantyre to be controller of news of MBC online.

Mwansambo who was viewed as a blue eyed boy for late President Bingu Mutharika was ‘abandoned’ in Mzuzu after Joyce Banda took the reigns of power in 2012 following the demise of Bingu.

He ‘resurrected’ last year following Peter Mutharika’s win in the 2014 tripartite elections when he was appointed Deputy Press Secretary for President Mutharika.
