This is not only good for the country but it also motivates the various players in industries where our entertainers operate from. On behalf of the government, I would therefore, extend my greatest appreciation to the management and board of MACRA, and the same goes to MBC for the wonderful job,” said Chimwendo Banda who is also Secretary General of the ruling Malawi Congress Party-MCP.
