The Malawian arts and media community is mourning the passing of celebrated photojournalist Ras Peter Kansengwa, who died at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe following a long illness. According to Malawi24 and The Maravi Post, Kansengwa was widely recognized for his extensive work documenting the country's public life, cultural events, and entertainment figures. His photography was highly regarded for preserving Malawian cultural memory, and his death has prompted widespread tributes from across the local creative sector.

In celebrity news, social media personality and Umatha Daily founder Abdulrazack Moffat, popularly known online as "Yesu," has officially graduated from the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, according to Malawi24. Moffat's graduation ends an eleven-year educational journey that included escaping the 2023 conflict in Sudan, where he was previously studying on scholarship. His academic achievement finally silences years of online trolling, where critics frequently mocked him using the phrase "A Yesu alibe degree".
