Water has engulfed hundreds of homes around the shores of Africa’s third-largest lake.
The flooding of Lake Malawi has displaced thousands of people and forced lakeside resorts and other businesses to close.
Heavy rains in recent months have contributed to water levels in the lake reaching their highest in decades.
Residents say the government isn't doing enough to address the problem.

Join us at the upcoming Southern African Railway Association (SARA) Conference and Exhibition as Malawi Railways 1994 (MR94) unveils its ambitious plans to enhance rail connectivity across Malawi and with its neighbouring countries.

MR94, the government infrastructure manager for Malawi, is revitalising its operations with a bold vision. This includes the rehabilitation of several key railway lines, such as the line from Marka on the Mozambique border to Angonia via Nsanje and other key locations. The first phase focuses on improving a 72-kilometre stretch from Marka to Mangochi, followed by an extension from Sandama to Limbe.

Furthermore, MR94 is planning to rehabilitate the line from the capital, Lilongwe, to Mchinji, on the Zambian border, which is a crucial step for improving trade connections between the two countries. An ongoing feasibility study also explores the potential of expanding the rail network to the north, with the aim of integrating Malawi’s northern territories into the rail grid and establishing connectivity with Tanzania.

Join Chapusa Phiri, the acting company secretary for Malawi Railways 1994, and other MR94 representatives at the SARA Conference as they engage with experts in track laying, track rehabilitation, and signalling suppliers. Be part of the discussion shaping the future of rail infrastructure in the region.
