Gospel or no Gospel for Namadingo
Patience Namadingo, a singer and musician, clarified on his Facebook page that he is not a gospel musician, expressing his desire to sing about various topics such as love, education, empowerment, wealth creation, and good morals. The author, Gregory Gondwe, supports Namadingo's stance, criticizing the societal pressure that labels artists and restricts their creative expression. Gondwe questions the distinction between gospel and secular musicians, citing examples of other artists who have faced similar identity challenges within Malawi's music industry.
Malawi legalizes cannabis cultivation for certain uses
Malawi has legalized the cultivation of cannabis for medicinal and industrial purposes to diversify its economy amidst declining tobacco exports. The new law, passed by Parliament, prohibits recreational use and establishes the Cannabis Regulatory Authority to oversee licensing and research. Illegal activities related to cannabis can result in severe penalties. Advocacy for legalization has been ongoing since the early 1990s.
