Embattled Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) Director General George Kasakula on Friday morning alleged that he was manhandled but some unidentified ‘seven men’ who further forced him to record an apology message to President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika under duress.

Kasakula claims the incident happened around 10 o’clock in the morning and he was forced to go Live on air where he allegedly delivered his message under duress.

George Kasakula is very much in charge of the affairs at MBC and he has the final say on what goes on air or not on all MBC platforms including radio, television and online.

Interestingly, George Kasakula has ordered the all the news platforms at MBC to be airing the apology statement that he allegedly recorded under duress.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE BUREAU ACCUSED OF INSTRUCTING NEEF TO DELETE TRANSACTION FILES

Cables have uncovered allegations of financial abuse at the National Economic Empowerment Fund (NEEF) involving senior National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) officials. The officers reportedly obtained thousands of bags of fertilizer from NEEF but failed to repay for them.

According to the information obtained, the following individuals are implicated:

• Dokani Ngwira, former NIS Director General – 2,000 bags

• Isaack Maluwa, Deputy Director General – 1,000 bags (reportedly a cousin to former President Chakwera)

• MacDafren Bango, Director of Special Operations – 1,500 bags

• Ms. Lenna Ndovi Phiri, former Head of Intelligence at State House – 800 bags

Following the Malawi Congress Party’s (MCP) loss in the recent elections, it is alleged that these officials instructed NEEF to delete all related transaction records from its system.

Additionally, Mr. Powers Chakwera, a nephew to President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera, is reportedly owing NEEF millions of kwacha. He was allegedly the focal point for beneficiaries from Malembo under T/A Chiwaula, who is the elder brother to the President.

These revelations have raised serious concerns over the misuse of public funds and alleged abuse of authority by top officials at the expense of ordinary Malawians.

KASAKULA ACCUSED OF SELLING MBC TRANSMITTERS AND EMBEZZLING FUNDS

Cables have reliably learned that MBC Director General George Kasakula and his associates allegedly sold several MBC transmitters across the country, claiming the proceeds would be used to settle pension arrears owed to former employees dismissed for political reasons during his tenure.

However, no funds have been remitted to the pension administrators to date.

In addition to the sale of transmitters, reports suggest that some MBC land was also sold under unclear circumstances. Despite these transactions, there is no record of any payments being made toward the intended pension obligations — raising strong suspicions that the funds may have been embezzled.

Given the seriousness of these allegations, there are growing calls for a comprehensive investigation into the matter to determine the full extent of the alleged financial misconduct.

KASAKULA CAUGHT LYING – DETAILED SECURITY AT MBC KWACHA STUDIOS

The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) Director General, George Kasakula, operates from the MBC Kwacha offices in Blantyre.

Upon arrival at the Kwacha studios, visitors encounter a security barrier manned by an armed MBC security officer. No unfamiliar vehicle or pedestrian is allowed to pass without being questioned and cleared by security personnel.

Once inside the premises, another layer of security awaits at the building entrance—where both an armed MBC security officer and an armed police officer are stationed. Here too, visitors must respond to questions before being allowed entry into the main building and ushered to the reception area.

Access to the Director General’s office is tightly controlled. Visitors cleared by reception are escorted to the secretary’s office for further verification. The Director General’s office door is protected by an access control system, with the passcode known only to the Director General and the secretary.

In addition, from the security barrier at the entrance up to the main building corridors and studios, the entire area is covered by CCTV cameras, ensuring continuous surveillance. Entry into the studios themselves is also restricted by access-controlled doors, with passcodes limited to authorized studio personnel.

These stringent measures illustrate the high level of security at MBC Kwacha Studios.

Cables therefore demand the release of CCTV footage, as earlier requested, to shed light on the matter involving the embattled MBC Director General, George Kasakula.

Breaking News

Former Malawi Police Crime Superintendent Laudon Nthinda has reportedly tendered his letter for early retirement, though official confirmation is still pending.

Nthinda was among the police officers protecting MCP youths seen carrying pangas alongside thug policemen known as the “10 Little Monkeys.”

In addition, he is accused of leading a team of police officers and MCP youths who allegedly stole money from a Burundian national in Salima, an incident reportedly captured on CCTV.

Following MCP’s electoral defeat, Nthinda was also accused of targeting Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials before the official election results were announced.

MBC is equipped with CCTV cameras. If DPP cadets truly went to MBC to manhandle Kasakula, by now CCTV footage would be circulating everywhere, especially shared by MCP supporters.

That Kasakula was assaulted , we saw it first on the wall of former MCP secretary General and parliamentarian Mkaka.Politics is at play.

Anyone who has been to MBC knows that entry is tightly secured , doors are protected with padlocks, and access is granted only through fingerprints or passcodes.

Even before reaching the reception area, there are armed guards stationed outside at all times.

It is therefore evident that this entire incident has been staged by Kasakula himself , attempting to play the victim while actually he was the one victimizing other employees at the state broadcaster and abusing his office.

We challenge Kasakula and MBC management to release CCTV footage showing who allegedly went to MBC and who unlocked those secured doors for them.

None will be provided .

Subject: Formal Complaint and Demand for Immediate Redress — Harassment, Intimidation, and Threats by the Director General of MBC, Mr. George Kasakula

Dear Sir,

I write this letter under deep distress and with a heavy heart. I am compelled to seek your urgent intervention following a series of incidents that have left me psychologically tormented, humiliated, and living in constant fear for my safety and livelihood.

On Tuesday, 7th October 2025, at approximately 2:30 PM, I was summoned by the Director General of the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), Mr. George Kasakula, to his office at Kwacha Studios, Blantyre. During this meeting, Mr. Kasakula accused me of being the operator or having links to a social media page known as “Cables,” which he alleged has been publishing negative stories about him and the Corporation.

According to Mr. Kasakula, this accusation was made by one of my colleagues, Mr. Samson Phiri. I wish to state categorically and unequivocally that I have no knowledge, connection, or involvement whatsoever with the said page. I have never authored, contributed to, or administered any content on “Cables” or any similar online platform.

Instead of being afforded an opportunity to respond or defend myself, I was subjected to verbal abuse, intimidation, and threats of arrest and dismissal — issued directly by Mr. Kasakula in the presence of his bodyguard. The tone and manner of this encounter were demeaning and psychologically devastating.

Sir, I am now living in fear, constantly anxious about what may happen next. This situation is made worse by an unresolved cybercrime case at Police Headquarters in Lilongwe, initiated by Mr. Kasakula last year, in which my phone and communication devices were seized. Despite my full cooperation, the case remains unresolved, leaving me in a prolonged state of distress.

This recent incident has reignited that trauma, compounding my emotional suffering and further tarnishing my professional integrity. I am being targeted, harassed, and vilified without evidence.

Therefore, I respectfully demand the following:
1. That Mr. Samson Phiri be formally required to provide evidence before your office to substantiate his allegations linking me to the “Cables” page.

2. That Mr. George Kasakula be held accountable for harassment, intimidation, and threats issued against me without due process.

3. That I be afforded protection from any further acts of victimization, psychological abuse, or unlawful arrest arising from these false accusations.

4. That this matter be investigated independently and transparently to restore my dignity, peace of mind, and professional integrity.

I make this appeal in good faith, as a law-abiding and dedicated employee of the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation. The fear and mental anguish I am enduring are unbearable, and I urgently call upon your esteemed office to intervene before further harm occurs.

Please treat this as a formal complaint and a request for immediate redress. I am available to provide any further information or statement as may be required.

Yours faithfully,

Austin Kakande
