Climate Change: A Major Global Threat-Pens Athens Born Author

Climate change—the long-term alteration of global climate patterns, particularly meteorological conditions over extended periods—has emerged as one of the most serious existential threats facing humanity today. The phenomenon is primarily driven by the greenhouse effect, which has caused a steady rise in the Earth’s average temperature. This warming is largely the result of a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide emissions, which have risen by approximately 35 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution....

PRESIDENT MUTHARIKA CONDOLENCES MESSAGE ON THE LOSS OF FIVE ARTISTS

The First Lady and I are profoundly heartbroken to learn of the horrific road accident that has claimed the lives of five remarkably talented young men—members of the Hive Band who served alongside Afro-dance artist Eli Njuchi.

We mourn the loss of Elivacy Matamando Muyaba, Wilfred Kupengule Jnr, Vincent Mkwinda, McFarlen Banda, and Raphael Chitsonga.

These were not just musicians; they were instrumental figures whose passion and artistry helped shape the soul of Malawi’s music industry for years.

Their passing is a devastating blow, not only to Eli Njuchi and the Musicians Association of Malawi, but to the very heart of our nation.

It is a tragedy that leaves a void in our cultural fabric. That they were lost while traveling to bring joy to others at an end-of-year concert in Lilongwe only adds to the bitterness of this grief.

In this hour of darkness, our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families.

As a gesture of our shared national mourning, the Government will shoulder all funeral expenses to ensure these sons of Malawi are laid to rest with the dignity they deserve.

Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika
President of the Republic of Malawi
