Malawian social media influencer and governance activist Onjezani Kenani has accused government ministers of prioritising personal wealth accumulation, buying luxury properties in Dubai and South Africa, while the majority of Malawians struggle to survive amid economic hardship.

In a Facebook post, Kenani drew a sharp analogy between Malawi’s current state and the sinking of the Titanic, saying those in power are living extravagantly, at the expense of the nation, widening gap between the political elite and ordinary Malawians, many of whom are grappling with rising food prices, unemployment, and collapsing public services.
