BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has announced the cancellation of this year’s Entertainers of the Year Awards.

In a statement seen by this publication, the state broadcaster says the decision follows careful consideration, noting that the corporation has been managing an intense schedule of activities in recent months.

It explains that there was insufficient time to properly plan and deliver the event at the level of quality expected by audiences, nominees, and partners.

“MBC remains fully committed to supporting and uplifting Malawi’s creative and entertainment industry. We will continue to explore opportunities that promote talent and deepen our engagement with the sector,” the statement reads in part.

The state broadcaster adds that details regarding future programmes or related initiatives will be communicated in due course.
