Miss Malawi 2025 Thandie Chisi withdraws from the Miss Universe competition, saying she lost confidence in the Miss Malawi Organisation’s ability to secure her participation. She presents the move as a response to prolonged uncertainty about arrangements for the global pageant.
Chisi says the decision follows months of turmoil and conflicting information behind the scenes, along with concerns related to money issues affecting preparations. Malawi Voice reports that she tells the organisation of her withdrawal in a private email dated 10 July, with her lawyer copied, and that the decision is framed as part of an extended period of uncertainty. Nyasa Times adds that Chisi links her exit to doubts about whether the organisers can deliver the necessary process to send her to Miss Universe.
Across the two outlets, the core points align: Chisi does not proceed with Miss Universe and attributes the withdrawal to uncertainty and problems she says were connected to the Miss Malawi Organisation’s handling of the arrangements. The reports differ mainly in the emphasis on the specific reasons, with one outlet focusing more on conflicting information and financial troubles, and the other detailing her stated communications timeline.
