MAINTAIN THY MENTAL

CENTER OF GRAVITY

By Irene Chimombo

Life can sometimes throw us

off the edge and we can get

stuck in a sea of obstacles,

with no foolproof recipes or

ready made answers on how

to navigate these trials and

tribulations. Oftentimes we

know that no one has the

exact answers, and most

times it could be that those

answers are locked up inside

us but we have no clue on

how to access them.

In these times it can be

difficult to keep going

because life feels like a

maze, we keep going in

the same circles with no

sense of direction and no

apparent destination. Most

people get stuck in this maze.

Uncertainties creep in, mixed

feelings emerge and in no

time they begin to control us

when we don’t identify them.

While we are given a lot

of choices on how to deal

with our struggles,life can

be confusing as to where

to begin for us to find that

centeredness to even start

from. The good news is that

we all have an operating

system inside of us, and

depending on how aware we

are, determines how we treat

it, as we all have free will to

make choices on how we can

do things differently.

Growing up, we were all

made aware of our bodies.

We have words to describe

our outer appearances,

and there are so many tools

available to change, reshape

and rejuvenate our bodies

when we feel unsatisfied.

Whilst we are always taking

care of our bodies, I would

like us to go inside the body

where everything exists. This

place is known by different

names. The Spirit. The Higher

self. The Soul.

For whatever name we

choose, one common thing

sremains: this place is our

Home. This is the sacred

place we continue to exist.

Our eternal dwelling place

to which we always come

back to even when our

physical bodies wander. The

big question is: How are we

existing in our Homes?

This is the journey.

How we make sense of and

how we exist in this world

depends on the awareness

we have of what is important

to us. I have learnt that ready

made answers won’t always

be true for everyone so I will

just reference to questions

that can serve us as a

starting point and hopefully

guide us in embracing this

journey.

What does it mean for us to

exist in our bodies?

How best do we take

care of our internal

Homes?

How do we

maintain it in

order for

it

to

MENTAL HEALTH

stay healthy and clean, inside

and out?

What role has the external

events played in moulding us?

How do our internal Homes

impact those around us and

the environment?

How do we maintain our

mental center of gravity?

How do we reign in our

kingdom?

Life is an equation we

constantly try to solve and if

the multiple choices we are

presented with don’t work,

there are many options out

to help us achieve our goals.

Questions have a way of

challenging us. They prompt

us to listen to our hearts and

they show us the routes to

follow in our different maps

to our realities. The place

we should start from, on this

journey, is embracing the fact

that the way we exist inwards

manifests outwards to our

bodies.

Reign

consciously

in thy

Kingdoms.

1. What’s your real name?

Madalitso kantema

2. How did you come up with

the name Charisma?

I had many talents back

then. I used to dance, play

football and doing music.

Everyone liked my charisma

so I decided to name myself

Charisma.

3. How has your upbringing

influenced your music?

My friend inspired me to start

doing music but it wasn’t my

thing. He forced me to write

a verse when I was in high

school. Since then, i always

put effort in the work and my

friend is proud of the man

I have become, plus I love

doing music now.

4. How do you see Malawi

in the African music scene?

Malawi is way too far

comparing to other countries

because we don’t have the

equipment they use but we

trying our best and one day

we going to be out there.

5. Craziest thing you ever

done?

Craziest thing, lol the picture I

took in toilet.

6.Any embarrassing moment?

No embarrassing moment

7. Favorite performance?

Eli Njuchi’s Album launch and

UMP awards 2016

8. What was the feeling

like to have 3 nominations in

one award?

How I felt? Well I was so

happy because last year I

really worked and I deserved

it

9. What’s your best

achievement in music?

The award meant a lot to me

and it’s not something you

can just get, you really have

to work so hard to get, so I

feel it’s an achievement to

me.

And been getting deals with

companies coz right now I’m

working with Gotv on some

campaign

10. Being awarded best

hip hop live in last year’s

awards, how much effort did

u put in for that recognition?

Best hip hop live, I had too

many shows. To be honest, I’m

the best hip hop performer

Malawi has ever produced,

I make the crowd go crazy

and I always give the fun they

want

11. We see u follow

fashion too, how does that

contribute to your music?

Fashion contributes a lot

to my music. Hip hop is

everything, the style of your

swag is one of them because

people don’t see you as a

regular person and it’s good

to dress up and look good at

all times.

12. What would you do

with your last MK50, 000 in

your pocket?

50k well, I would buy masks

for my fans.

13. Any plans of

collaborating with

international artists?

It’s not easy to collaborate

with international artists

on our own, so I can’t say

anything on that because it’s

too expensive.

ENTERTAINMENT

14. What is the biggest

change in your life as far as

music is concerned?

It made me to limit myself

from the ghetto, because I

was gonna end up like those

kids drinking and smoking

every day, “anthu osowa

zochita”. So when I got

famous, I had to change my

lifestyle and look at me now, I

have really changed because

of music.

15. Take us through the

making of Kubanda?

Kubanda wasn’t a song that

was gonna come out. I was

just playing in the studio and

I had to send it to one of

my friends and it was just a

VN. My friend sent it to some

groups then boom everyone

was asking for it. I decided

to finish it and release it out

there, and kubanda took

number on made on Monday

for 2 months or something.

16. When do we expect an

album or EP?

Working on something and

might drop it in April

17. What does Charisma

like to eat at home?

Charisma likes chiwaya

18. Any special words to

your fans

I love all my fans, keep on

supporting me and I will keep

on bringing nothing but the

best music you deserve.

POETRY

LITERATURE

ON NATURE’S OPEN BOOK

Atupele Sanderson

THEMESSIAH

Zozo Nadimba Chandilanga

There is a book written,

Never to be forgotten.

Its pages are deep green,

This is the depth of love eternal.

The streams bring the rhythm of life;

The air with no sign of strife.

The pictures quite vivid,

Reflecting the glory of the creator.

In this book I see a ray of hope,

That will move my faith from its stop.

The theme is salvation;

It’s all written in nature’s open book.

They waited for the first rains, invain,

Limbs spread, hercrotch pulsing,

Acraving for ascent of wet dust ,

Undeserving, like the first coming,

Someone to blame,

The first one to come,

Wasn’t the lilt of my tongue,

Like a King nailed on the wood,

It stuck uselessly in the air of my

gums,

‘ You paid the debts of your father ’ ,

she spat on the ground,

My umbilical chain flaccid between

her legs,

Like their first time, his first time to

cum,

My voice was the son, the crucifix,

A messiah for their sins.

MALETA TALKS 13 YEARS OF MODELING

It is overwhelming to hear a

male fashion model excelling

as modeling is much viewed

to be involved with girls.

Born Naphy Maleta aged 28,

a Malawian fashion model

based in Pretoria, South

Africa, share his 13 years of

experience in modeling.

Inspired by Donnell Blaylock

Jnr, Maleta ventured into the

fashion modeling industry

back in 2008 when he was in

high school.

Maleta, who left for South

Africa in 2016, claims that

Malawi doesn’t offer good

opportunities to male models

as compared to other

countries.

“South Africa has more

opportunities than Malawi for

male models. I also wanted to

learn more about modeling

over here,” he says.

The model has managed to

take part in the distinguished

gentleman fashion show,

Mzuzu fashion week and

Fashion Malawi Edition Fame.

Just like any other field, the

model says he has gained a

lot of experience through his

13-years of modeling.

“I’ve gained new knowledge.

Being a model exposes one

to different life skills, such as

posture, poise, confidence

and good communication

skills. You can apply these

skills to other careers. Models

acquire good communication

skills after interacting with

different personalities in the

industry.”

Despite having memorable

experiences, the model

laments that issues of

payments remain a challenge

in the industry.

“Sometimes you can go to

work and never get paid

the amount of money you

agreed on, regardless of the

kind of model you are and

the region,” He laments.

Even though he encounters

these problems, Maleta

encourages those who

desire to be in the fashion

modeling industry to follow

their dreams whenever they

can.

He further explained that

there are no academic

qualifications for one to join

modeling.

“No formal educational

credential is required to

become a model. Specific

requirements depend on

the client, with different

jobs requiring physical

characteristics. However,

models must be within

certain ranges of height,

weight and clothing size.”

Apart from being a fashion

model, Maleta is also a

business man. He sees himself

as an expert in the modeling

industry where others will seek

help, ideas and strategies.

SPIRITUAL

IN THE

WORD

With Nathan

Gwedeza

NO OTHER NAME

There are so

many names

of some very

notable people

who had so

much influence

in the world.

These are great men who

accomplished great things.

Others were political leaders,

others military leaders such

as Alexander the Great, and

many others were religious

leaders who commanded a

great following. They were

great in their time but now

that they are gone, their

names mean nothing apart

from just reading them in the

books of history.

There is only one name

however, which stands out

among them all. This is a

name of one man who is the

central figure of the human

race. He never wrote a book

nor commanded an army

or occupied an office. He

did none of the things that

usually accompany greatness

but His life was matchless.

The Bible in the book of Acts

4:12 is talking about His name

and it says, “nor is there

salvation in any other, for

there is no other name under

Reflo Magazine 3rd Edition 2021

heaven given among men

by which we must be saved.”

The name is clearly revealed

in the first few verses and that

name is Jesus. He came in

the world on one mission and

that’s to save mankind.

He came to be a sacrifice

for men’s sins. He came as

a redeemer and a Saviour

for mankind. The Bible says

“without the shedding of

blood there is no remission of

sins.” (Hebrews 9:22) For men

to receive the forgiveness of

their sins, blood had to be

shed and Jesus came just for

that.

“But He was wounded for

our transgressions, He was

bruised for our iniquities; The

chastisement for our peace

was upon Him...” (Isaiah 53:5).

Jesus shed his blood for us.

He was bruised, wounded

and died in our place. After

he was killed, the Bible tells

us that on the third day

He conquered death and

rose from the dead. He won

victory over the devil.

After his resurrection, he

received exaltation. The Bible

says “Therefore God also

has highly exalted Him and

9

given Him the name which

is above every name, that

at the name of Jesus every

knee should bow, of things

in heaven, and of things on

earth, and of those under

the earth” (Philippians 2:9-10).

Jesus received a name that is

above every other name you

know.

His name is above all the

armies that ever matched, all

the giants that ever lived, all

the warriors that ever fought,

all the navies that ever sailed,

all the parliaments that ever

sat and all the kings that ever

reigned.

It is through the exaltation

He received that we come to

understand what the Bible is

saying that “there is no other

name given to us that we can

be saved with.” It is only the

name of Jesus that can save

us.

Right now at this very

moment you can call on the

name of Jesus, a name which

is above every other name

and receive salvation. “For

whoever calls on the name

of the Lord shall be saved.”

(Romans 10:13). Call on His

name today. Peace to you!

It was some few years

back when I first met

this special someone

called my wife today.

we met at the Kitchen

Top up. That is where

we got to know each

other like friends. We

have been friends

until 2018 and that’s

when……it all begun!

Our Journey of life

started on this day,

that’s when it all

started, in September 2018 at

my cousin’s place. Herself and

my cousin’s Wife were holding

a birthday party and I had no

idea that she would be there

too. When I saw her for this

second time, which was after

a couple of years, my heart

pounced strongly and I felt it

inside that she was the one

for me. And to make it more

interesting, when I greeted

her she asked for a hug. And

that hug was so special that

I whispered softly in her ear “I

love you.” few months down

the line, I couldn’t wait to

14

make her my wife

and I planned to

propose to her on her

birthday, and luckily

enough, she said

yes. That’s when we

started planning life

ahead and planning

our wedding and to

pay lobola and other

things. By the Grace

of God, all went

well and in a year

and some months

later, we got married, and our

Journey of life has been the

best Journey of my experience.

She is my wife and my best

friend, and the mother to my

lovely son. I thank God for this

life and the glory to Almighty

Father, I love her very much.

Queen

Sheba to drop an album in April

By Andrew Ndhlovu

United Kingdom based artist, Queen Sheba, whose

real name is Rachel Khan Muyepa, is set to

release her first album titled ‘Magobo’ in

April this year.

Sheba told Reflo Magazine that her

music is important, as it attracts people’s

attention hence it is necessary for her to

release music with meaningful messages

that can bring change to the world.

She said that, ’Magobo’ is a song whose

message is about a hard working person

who wants to achieve something in life.

The idea came up because she is one

such person who has come a long

way to reach where she is.

“In this song, I’m explaining how

I work hard and I believe that

nothing comes easy, therefore I

encourage people to work hard to

achieve their dreams,” Sheba said.

She further explained that the

album has songs like Zikomo Mai

Wanga which is a dedication to all mothers

in the world, who have done a lot of things

just to make sure that their children make it

in life.

“The song Zikomo Mai Wanga is just

complimenting my message in the titled

track ‘Magobo’ but in this one I am

appreciating all mothers out there for the

effort of taking good care of us to reach

where we are,” she laughs.

She added that fans should expect good

music from her, as she is working with

Wikise, Rash Ley, Beanca, Rita and Phyzix in

her new album.

Sheba urged every artist who has made a

name in the music industry to help those

who are trying to make it there.

“I want to ask those at higher levels to at

least help us the up and coming artists, as

we are working hard to establish ourselves

in the industry.”

“It is not easy out there for someone like

me or anyone else who is new to organise

a show without any old guys in the industry,”

Queen Sheba said.

The Woman

Raps in a gospel choir song Ali Liki

Liki. Drops a remix of it with Suffix



By Newton Kalua

Numerous times

Malawian

artists have

had their call

for support

on different

talents backfire. It is either

you work hard on your own to

realise your dream or die off in

infancy.

FEATURE

Breakthrough

suffocation‘

As it has been in the past

governments, all hopes turn

to the President Dr. Lazarus

Chakwera’s Tonse Alliance

administration, to see whether

the national youth policy will

square the needs of young

talented Malawians in the

country.

TALE OF MALAWIAN

ARTISTS

Malawi’s national youth policy

expired in 2018, and Honorable

Ulemu Msungama is the

Minister of Youth and Sports,

and is responsible for making

sure the country has an up to

date youth policy framework.

A review process for the policy

was initiated in October,

2020, and so far a couple of

consultative meetings have

been undertaken on the same.

One such person enduring in

an environment where young

people are struggling to make

ends meet is a Lilongwe based

22-year-old boy, Blessings

Chiumia, popularly known as

Tingo-B The Pencil Guy.

He is a passionate portrait

drawer trying to break into the

scene, but lack of resources is

delaying his progress.

“I struggle with materials, like

the only materials I easily find

are rubbers and pencils. But

there is a unique kit which I

cannot get it here in Malawi,

to have them you need to

order from abroad; United

Kingdom, United States of

America or China, which costs

a lot of money. Right now, I am

trying to keep some money so

that I can buy high standard

materials one day,” the young

man lamented.

Apart from drawing, Tingo

also does music, and he is

also pursuing a Journalism

19

and Mass Communication

programme at Pentecostal

Life University.

At the moment, he has

however stopped singing and

going to school, so that he

concentrates on drawing and

to fetch for his school fees, and

lift the burden off his mother,

who also has the responsibility

to pay for his younger sister’s

fees.

“I have currently stopped music

and school to concentrate

on drawing. About school, I

will maybe resume next year

because I feel like school

and art doesn’t work at the

same time, to be honest. So

I gave myself time to see

Reflo Magazine 3rd Edition 2021


how far I can go

with the drawing.

But I believe that

I can go far with

drawing.”

“So if I can go far

maybe in a year

I can manage to

pay for my school

fees. If I get more

money, I will invest

in music as well.

So I don’t want to

put more pressure

on my mom that

is why I resorted

to drawing,”

explained The

Pencil Guy.

To produce nice

portraits, one

needs a lot of

materials, including;

good quality pencils, deep

brushes, sketchbooks and a

variety of erasers, which is an

expensive collection, and not

readily available in Malawi.

President Chakwera’s

administration promise of 1

million jobs in his tenure heavily

relies on young entrepreneurs

like him to invest and employ

other young people in the

process, and that is what

continues to be preached

by the leaders in the

administration, including arts

line Ministry under Msungama.

Msungama launched an

initiative of One Million Jobs

through Arts, Culture and

Digital Innovations on 4th

December, 2020, at a Black

and Gold Gala at Comesa

Hall in Blantyre, an event which

saw top artists; Patience

Namadingo, Lucious Banda,

and one of South Africa’s best,

DJ Tira, present as support

Reflo Magazine 3rd Edition 2021

staff.

“Now that the One Million

Jobs through Arts, Culture

and Digital Innovations

Initiative has been launched. I

just want to wish Entertainers

Promotions and their partners

good luck. As a Ministry, our

role is to develop policies and

facilitate some activities,”

reads the Minister’s official

Facebook page post.

According to ‘Saatchi Art’

website, in South Africa,

a simple portrait drawing

amounts to $200, which is

about MK160, 000, when

converted to Malawi Kwacha,

whilst Tingo gets a maximum

of MK15, 000 for a complicated

drawing.

When asked about how the

portrait market is in Malawi,

he indicated that he faces

challenges because the art is

not valued like other countries.

20

FEATURE

“Marketing in Malawi

has been so though. I

try everyday to share

my drawings to market

myself, but it is a little bit

hard since people are

yet to recognise that

drawing can also be one

of the sources of income.”

“So, I feel like to promote

my talent, firstly I need

support [on social

media]. My fellow artists

outside the country,

get much support from

their country. You go to

Zambia, we see people

getting thousands of

likes on their social

media pages. We need

to support each other in

Malawi,” he pointed out.

He idolises a South African

drawer; Young Creator, and

believes one day he will be

more talented than him if he

can manage to get hold of

the right materials and work

even harder.

Since he started serious

drawing, Tingo has drawn

about 50 portraits, and one

of his celebrity portraits is

that of Malawian footballer;

Gabadinho Mhango, who

currently plies his trade

at DSTV Premiership side;

Orlando Pirates.

For progress sake, there is a

need for serious support when

it comes to arts in Malawi. The

struggle is real, since support

is very off-putting, and

because of its bleak nature, it

is hard to step forward, unless

if you follow suit to Steve

Southerland’s saying: “don’t

wait for your ship to come.

Swim out to it.”


LIFESTYLE

started modeling in 2017 and it was a great

year for me because I learned alot of things

about modeling and the person who taught me

modeling said that i must have confidence and

believe in myself as it’s not easy to walk infront of

people

My advice is as simple as believing in yourself,

if you want to be a model jus do it, confidence

comes second.

Time for everything. Time to be

born and time to die, time to

love and time to hurt, that's the

story of one of prolific striker,

Ganizani AKA M’bobo Njoka

Malunga.

Malawi in recent times, has produced great

footballers and Ganizani happen to be one

of them.

The former flames international player, was

born on 21st august, 1978 and was raised in

the commercial city of Malawi, Blantyre.

“I started my Football career in 1992 at

Ronolain Blantyre (BCA),before joining

Admarc youth (tigers).

"Then i was promoted to the senior team

in 1996 with late Felix Nyirongo, played with

tigers for only one season. The following

season I went to join Silver Strikes in

Lilongwe".

His dream was totally to play for big bullets,

(Nyasa big bullets now).

"I left sliver strikes and opt of going back to

Blantyre with the influence of Peter Mponda

and Mac Donald Yobe. I joined Big Bullets in

2001.

I remember my first game was in Mzuzu

against Moyale barracks and scored a goal

with assistance from late Bauleni," Mbobo

said.”

He added that, 2003/2004 was the best

season ever in his football career.

"I scored 28 goals, which I believe that up to

now nobody has done it in our Super League.

It is the time when our President, then Dr

Bakili Muluzi, took over the ownership of

Bullets," Malunga recalls.

Mbobo says he travelled to England where

he met with David Beckman and Sir Alex

Ferguson for their pre-training in preparation

for the CAF champions match with Orlando

Pirates which ended in favour of bullets.

Seventeenteen years down the line, no one

has reached his goal scoring mark making

him the all time Super League top goal scorer.

SPORTS

M’bobo Njoka still around,

all time Super league goal scorer

"I am proud today that since that time up

to now, I'm still holding the position of the

all-time top goal scorer in our league, back

home.
