Overview Analysis of the demand for plastic house ware in Malawi and neighbouring countries combined with research into plastic injection moulding technology led to the creation of Arkay Plastics Industry in Malawi. We were incorporated in 1997, and began production with only four injection moulding machines and a staff of 30. We began by processing a ton of material per day. Our first range of products – a container set, shopping basket and two large basins were an innovation and took the market by storm. Aggressive marketing and continuous investment into machinery led to our growth in Malawi. Our policy of maintaining high quality standards and dynamism in operations has led to increased demand of our products in neighbouring countries.

In July 1994, after the government had studied the problems inherent in the delivery of tertiary education in the country, the former President of The Republic of Malawi, His Excellency Dr. Bakili Muluzi, decided that a new University should be established and that it should be located in the Northern Region. Thereafter, the President appointed the Commission for the Establishment of the University in the North (COMESUN) and directed the commissioners to gather the opinions of a cross-section of the Malawian population in the three regions on the feasibility, practicality and viability of establishing such an institution.The commission heard views from politicians, traditional and religious leaders, academicians, professional experts, government officials and the ordinary people in the rural areas.

Having accepted the report in its entirety, the President appointed a Working Committee on Mzuzu University (WOCOMU) on 18th September, 1995 and instructed it to implement the recommendations contained in the COMESUN report.

Our History THE BEGINNING OF ASSEMBLIES OF GOD On July 4, 1947, a contingent of four Missionary units of Assemblies of God arrived at Chimbewa Village in Ntcheu.  They included one team from Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and another one from South Africa.  They joined a host Pentecostal group known as the “Full Gospel Church,” led by Laiton Kalambule.  The missionaries included Paul Derr, Ragnar Udds, Morris Williams and Magnus Udds from Tanganyika, while Fredrick Burke, Paul Wright, and Moody Wright came from South Africa.   The Assemblies of God Missionaries discussed with Laiton Kalambule that the “Full Gospel Church should become affiliated with the General Council of the Assemblies of God in United States of America.  Kalambule’s group accepted and they formed the Assemblies of God in East Africa. In the early years, the Assemblies of God in Nyasaland was led by an Executive Council that supervised two fields – Nyasaland and Tanganyika.  Later in Nyasaland, three workers Council’s were organized to oversee the work in the three regions of the country. Missionary Fred Burke acted as the first Chairman of this workers council.  Missionary Morris Williams served as Secretary in the beginning.  In 1960, H. B. Garlock assumed the […]

The Malawi Police Service Website has been developed in response to the growing demand by the general public to seek information from the Service. It is hoped that this will create a forum where members of the community within the country and even outside will have a chance of reporting any cases to do with their safety and security. This will, in the process, lead to effecting arrests of crime perpetrators. It is also a forum where Police will be accountable to members of the society on how it is performing its duties. People will be able to contribute on how best they want their Police to deliver its services. The website is a means of tip anonymous of any crime and criminology that you see happening in your localities. This website strives to bridge the gap between the Malawi Police Service and the community we serve. It is an information piece that presents safety and security events in terms of criminals who have been nabbed and major community and Police activities that have taken place. It is a forum which gives crime prevention tips to the general public and further gives a feed forward to how community members together […]
