BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Listed NBS Bank has donated a total of MK10 million to two cultural festivals, the Gonapamuhanya Cultural Festival and the Mulhakho wa Ahlomwe which are happening this weekend in Rumphi and Mulanje respectively.

“They came to us to ask for assistance and we felt compelled to sponsor them, simply because it aligns with our corporate initiatives.
