BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-One of the country’s oldest media giants Times Group is reeling towards death bed as company keeps on losing key staff members following return of President Peter Mutharika into power since September, 2025.
The media grouping has lost over eight senior staff members including reporters, presenters, photojournalists and among others who have joined public service.
Eight staff members joined Mutharika’s public services including Brian Banda (MBC Director General), Cathy Maulidi (Presidential Press Secretary), Deogratias Mmana (Director of Information), Leah Malekano (Deputy Director of Information), David Gadama (PRO-Office of Second Vice President), Sam Bond Kaimira (PRO Ministry of Transport), Henry Mchulu (State House Videographer) and Emmanuel Simpokolwe (State House Photographer).
The eight members are not just mere staff but individuals that shaped Times Group’s excellence.
Times Group consists of Daily Newspaper, TV, Radio Station, currier and among others.
Million questions pop up; will Times Group stand with exodus while maintaining the standard and quality of journalism as the oldest media group?
Why only Times Group former staff members have flooded Mutharika’s public service than any other media house in Malawi?
Should someone be forced to work at Times Group as a reeway to information public service?
Why should one media house have a monopoly over others in information public service?
