When her music academy in the city of Lilongwe closed in March 2020, students were ordered home and Mkandawire grabbed a few clothes, her bass guitar and jumped on a bus for the 12-hour journey to her home in Karonga in northern Malawi.
Mkandawire and her friends established a project called Pamoza Na Chifama, with the aim of protecting people from Covid-19. They pooled their resources and bought four metres of chitenge, a cotton fabric worn locally, and made 36 face masks to donate to vulnerable people. “As we started teaching local tailors and also donating some masks in schools, in the community and in churches, we thought it would be better that we broadcast this information to a larger scale,” says Mkandawire.
A dearth of vaccine supplies has hindered the roll-out in Karonga, says Elias Phiri, a senior health officer at Karonga District Hospital, but the broadcasts on the region’s most popular radio stations have gone a long way to combatting vaccine hesitancy. A singer-songwriter using the stage name Kaadrum, she plays bass guitar and combines traditional Malawian music with Afro jazz and pop.
