An interview with Malawi’s Minister of Information, Moses Kalongashawa Kunkuyu, he is also MCP Campaign Director. He shares his troubled and underprivileged past growing as a young boy in Manase - Blantyre, his sojourn to South Africa to do manual work, including being a security guard. He later worked as a curios vendor, exporting curios to South Africa before he decided to join politics. He went ahead to be MP for Blantyre City South constituency in 2009. Before the elections he was embroiled in an abduction incident where he was apparently abducted by some politically connected thugs - he refused to comment on the matter.
In 2012 when he was MP for Blantyre City South, following the unpopularity of the Bingu wa Mutharika administration, he alleged in an interview with Zodiak that the advisors to the Party leadership were "too timid" to face him to Mutharika, and that the Party was living a lie. He subsequently formed the Hope Alliance, a pressure group within the Party seeking to influence change from within to the Mutharika government. This led to a hostile response from the government. Following the succession of Joyce Banda to the Malawi Presidency, he was appointed Minister of Information and Civic Education.
From being a member of the People’s Party he formed a new party called Transformation Alliance in 2016. It later joined the MCP in March 2018.
He remains a high ranking official in the MCP
