Portfolio
I filmed, edited, and produced a documentary on infrastructure development, highlighting several completed projects in Chitipa. These initiatives were carried out by Chitipa Restoration, with support from PeachTree Church.
In 2020, Malawians took to the streets to protest against the election results, which they alleged were tainted by irregularities. I played a part in providing footage that Al Jazeera used to illustrate the unfolding events. My base was in Mzuzu, capturing the essence of the protests from that vantage point.
How smuggling undermines Malawi’s clean energy agenda and SDGs
The article discusses the challenges faced by Malawi in its pursuit of clean energy due to the influx of substandard and smuggled products.

The Malawi Revenue Authority has reported an increase in smuggling cases, with 419 incidents in the 2023 financial year. The article highlights the stories of John Sailesi and Mariana Sakala, who suffered due to unreliable goods.
