Radio Pamtengo comprises an exceptionally diverse and talented radio Djs and presenters from Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, Poland and Australia.
Malawi Achievers’ Award is aimed at celebrating and recognising outstanding Malawian individuals and groups in the UK for their exceptional achievements and contributions to their respective community both in the diaspora and Malawi.
The prestigious event was hosted by the Malawi Association UK (MAUK) the mother body of all UK-based Malawi Associations, a registered charity that promotes the welfare and sense of belonging for all Malawians living in the UK.
Pamtengo radio chief executive officer Steve Chijota said the award was a milestone and a symbol of Pamtengo’s hard work and commitment to radio excellence.
“We honour this recognition and acknowledge receipt of this most prestigious award in a very special way. A massive thanks to all our listeners for voting and believing in our dreams. And once again a big mention to the organisers of the Malawi Achievers for such a precious medal,” Chijota said.
The Media Award for Pamtengo radio is yet another successful achievement under its belt after winning the 2014 BEFFTA’S Best Radio of the Year, yet another distinctly special award ceremony honouring the best showbiz and entertainment personalities in the black and ethnic community in the UK, USA, Canada, Caribbean, Africa and the rest of the world.
