“What does your country produce?” A question at dinner in New York that I grew to dread. It should be an easy question to answer; and yet… it was not.

Most public conversations about development begin with infrastructure. The roads are poor.
Electricity is unreliable. Water systems are inconsistent. Internet access is limited.

At 10:03 a.m. on the 17th of April, 2026, Malawi experienced a national system shutdown. There was a countrywide loss of power supply.

I am delighted to have been nominated for Most Inspiring Female Business Leader at the Consumer Choice Awards Malawi 2026. , as founder and CEO of Q2 Systems.
