Bravo!!!! This is the way to go brother. Uwu nde timati ukamuna…..However it is qt unfortunate that our IP laws in Malawi are too archaic and we do not have a provision on Utility Model or Small Patents. We solely depend on Patents. However, this invention is best suited in UM and can also be protected under the Industrial Design Act especially the shape. Furtherance you can protect your Trademark under our Trademark Act. Gone are the days IP used to be considered as a Developed Countries asset. Do you know that Americas, China, Japan etc Economy depends on IP.… Read more »

I said it before in my comment no. 12 and if you read comment no. 45 you will agree with me that this is an old technology and similar more refined products are already there on the market including eBay and Amazon. This product cannot be patented in Malawi as it is not original and re-inventing the wheel is a waste of time and money. Please be sincere and advise the guy to do a thorough research first next time rather than cheating him with hollow congratulatory messages.

Amene mukunyozanu chanzeru munapangapo ndi chani? This is an international award, which only shows that the guy has done a wonderful job. This is just his first innovation and we hope that he will come up with another innovation. Big up Mixon

A Malawi chitani chilungamo. The Bicycle charger for phone is a very old technology, not a new innovation. As early as 2011, I saw the YouTube video of this at

Similarly, in 2013 there was a You tube post at

Both of these were posted before our Malawian innovator.

Next time people claim to innovate, chech the details.

Congrats Brother for the innovation….my plea to government, please don’t let this good idea be stolen by foreign countries, the likes of China and Cameroon, instead let the appropriate government Ministry support this innovation and produce a lot, and export, we will be talking about a very good inflow of forex, believe me. Congrats again Mr. Faluweki.

This guy needs support. From now onwards he should concentrate on mass production and stop making presentations on how it works, some clever guys will steal the technology and make business out of it. Banks and the export fund need to work up and support this guy. This is our source of employment and forex earning. Bravo Malawian Boy
