Malawi’s Second Vice President, Enock Kanzingeni Chihana, travels to Durban, South Africa, to represent Malawi at the 46th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government. Reports say he departs from Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe and later arrives at King Shaka International Airport in Durban.
The summit is scheduled for 17 August 2026. Outlets describe Chihana’s arrival timing as late afternoon or evening, with one report placing his landing and reception around 6:05pm, and another describing a welcome at the airport around 6pm. Malawi’s representation is also noted: one source says Chihana represents President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika at the SADC meeting, and another frames his participation as part of Malawi’s involvement in the regional heads-of-state event.
While the accounts align on Chihana’s travel and purpose, they emphasize different details of the journey—one focusing on his departure, others on the arrival and ceremonial welcome in Durban.
