LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development Rosa Fatch Mbilizi, has underscored the significant role of the Malawi-Zambia maize procurement deal in addressing the country’s looming food insecurity.

Speaking during the contract signing ceremony in Lilongwe on Wednesday, Mbilizi attributed the severe food insecurity to poor agricultural performance over the past two years.

The Minister said Mutharika’s new administration has priotised the urgency of addressing food insecurity, hence the implementation of several strategic interventions such as intesfied irrigated winter cropping and promotion of resilient crops.

Speaking on behalf of the Zambian Government, Zambian Minister of Agriculture Rueben Mtolo commended the Malawi Government for prioritising addressing food insecurity over other challenges it is facing.

Mtolo said the Zambian Government is committed to supporting humanitarian efforts including addressing food insecurity hence the collaboration with Malawi.

Under the deal, Zambia will export 200,000 metric tons of maize to Malawi worth MK382.7 billion to help address the country’s food shortage.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-It was a day to remember for Limbani Phiri, a newspaper vendor from Chilinde, who received a generous donation of clothes from Apostle Clifford Kawinga, founder of Salvation for All Ministries, as part of the apostle’s birthday celebrations.

Phiri, a familiar face on the streets of Lilongwe where he earns a living selling newspapers, was among several individuals who benefited from Apostle Kawinga’s charitable outreach.

The donation was part of the apostle’s birthday initiative, which focused on giving back to the less privileged in society.

In an interview, Phiri expressed gratitude for the unexpected gesture, describing it as life-changing.

“I am very thankful to Apostle Kawinga. He has shown us that giving truly comes from the heart. He doesn’t just give clothes he also helps families like mine by paying school fees for our children,” said Phiri, emotionally.

Apostle Kawinga, who was raised by a single mother in a family of seven, said the experience of growing up with limited resources continues to shape his outlook on life.

“I know what it means to go hungry. I know what it means to lack even the simplest things,” he said. “That’s why I chose to celebrate my birthday by giving to those in need. Apostolic ministry is about love and service about reaching out where it matters most.”

The birthday outreach event included distribution of food items, clothes, and financial support for school fees, targeting vulnerable households in Lilongwe.

According to Kawinga, this is just one of many initiatives that his ministry undertakes to uplift communities, especially those living in poverty.

“We don’t need to wait for special occasions to make a difference. But on this day, I wanted to use my birthday as a symbol of hope and love,” he added.

Community members have hailed the initiative, calling it a timely act of kindness amid tough economic times.

GAZA-(MaraviPost)-US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Israel, reiterating the US commitment to supporting a Gaza ceasefire while warning Hamas that they will face severe consequences if they fail to comply with the agreement. Speaking in Jerusalem, Vance emphasized that the terms of the 20-point plan are clear: Hamas must disarm.

“If Hamas doesn’t cooperate, then, as the President of the United States has said, Hamas is going to be obliterated,” Vance stated.

However, he declined to set an explicit deadline for compliance, citing the complexity and unpredictability of the situation.

The US is working to establish an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to police Gaza, disarm Hamas, and clear the Strip of all weapons and ammunition. Vance suggested that Gulf Arab forces, with Egypt taking the lead, would likely play a key role in this effort.

Indonesia has offered to send 20,000 troops to participate in the ISF, with other Muslim countries expected to contribute as well.

Notably, the US has ruled out deploying American boots on the ground in Gaza.

“There are not going to be American boots on the ground in Gaza,” Vance said, echoing President Donald Trump’s stance.

The ceasefire remains fragile, with both sides accusing each other of breaches.

Vance’s visit aims to advance the Gaza talks to the second phase of the ceasefire, which would involve more difficult steps, including Hamas’ disarmament.

President Trump has warned that if Hamas doesn’t comply, the group will face severe consequences, tweeting that their end would be “FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!”

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are making it red carpet official!

The “Karma” singer, 22, made her red carpet debut with her British beau on Tuesday, October 21, at Dancers Against Cancer’s 2025 Gala of the Stars at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

As well as walking the red carpet together for the first time, Tuesday’s gala proved to be a particularly memorable evening for the couple as Hughes, 32, presented Siwa with the Humanitarian Award on stage.

Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly at the event, Siwa said it was a “big deal” for her and Hughes to make their red carpet debut at the event — which comes six months after they met on Celebrity Big Brother UK.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes Relationship Timeline

“I mean, honestly, just kind of how the cookie crumbled,” Siwa told Us about why Tuesday’s gala was the perfect time to step out together.

Hughes, meanwhile, gushed that he was ecstatic to celebrate his girlfriend as she received an award.

“You in this wonderful, wonderful situation,” Hughes said to Siwa. “The Humanitarian Award’s incredible. So, to come here tonight, and kind of have a small involvement and able to present her with the award, is very special. It was an easy flight to come over to see JoJo, to see the family, and to see everyone here.”

For the occasion, the Dance Moms alum wore a floor-length black dress with jewelry adorning the neckline, while Hughes wore a polka dot brown shirt and white pants.

Siwa reflected on her romance with Hughes, telling Us that she couldn’t be happier.

“There’s no real way to explain it. Just anything and everything about him just … I was telling my mom this, actually. I was like, ‘Anything about him, I just adore it,’” she said. “It is just fun and I don’t know, just feels right. I love the bond that he has with my family. I love his family.”

“I love your family,” Hughes added, describing Siwa’s relatives as “adorable.”

The singer and dancer went on to share how she’s able to be vulnerable with Hughes, explaining how he comforted her the night before after a particularly busy period.

“It just feels so relaxed,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve had a very nuts few weeks … and last night we were laying in bed, and I’ll be honest, I had a cry. And then he held me tight. I was just having to cry because I was just overwhelmed and exhausted.”

Siwa said her boyfriend was half-asleep, but still made the effort to comfort her.

“I was jet-lagged,” Hughes described the sweet moment. “I still cared that she was upset.”

Siwa continued, “I said to him, ‘This is the calmest I’ve felt in a really long time.’ It just feels calm.”

JoJo Siwa’s Dating History Through the Years: Chris Hughes and More

Siwa and Hughes met in April while they were both contestants on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Though they formed a close bond in the Big Brother House, it wasn’t until after exiting the Big Brother House that their relationship turned from platonic to romantic.

“It’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way,” Siwa told The Guardian in June. “Clearly, you’ve never been around us. I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.”

The following month, Hughes said in an interview with Fabulous magazine, “Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that. We were meant to cross paths. We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap.”

“Our first kiss was genuinely special — it felt like I was in a movie. I can’t keep my hands off her now,” he added.
