This is wonderful!
A visionary entrepreneur. Everyone knows that this is a family business and I wonder where the word nepotism would come from. Knowing very well the RBM requirements for one to get such a senior position in a commercial bank, the boy was purposefully groomed into that channel. Congratulations. It is not the young man’s fault to have a uniquely entrepreneurial father. Neither is it the father’s fault to have such a trainable child. And I hear his sister is also rising high in the same bank. Wonderful.
Congratulations
Mr Judge Not kodi UNIMA idakalipo? You would have done the same if you could afford an education overseas for your child. He has the necessary qualifications to take the bank to greater heights. Tsegulani yanu bank!!! Heheee kakolopeni Lake Malawi!
dont cheat us 7yrs what just simply say he is the owner of the bank full stop musanize wanthu mbava inu chimodzzi modzi kugwira kwa makda kkkkk igalu inu
VAST EXPERIENCE????
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Its always a relief to hear that a successful father has brought up his sons like this. This young man will carry on the tradition his father established as has previously happened at FMB.
All I I can say is, if you are blessed with wealth, send your children to top schools, including universities abroad.
It’s useless sending your children to mediocre private schools if you are a billionaire. Put them through Kamuzu Academy, St Andrews, South End, Bishop Mackenzie, …
Makamaka aChewa anzanga omwe muli ni ndalama…invest in your children’s education as wealthy Tumbukas do.
I admire the Senior Mpinganjira he made sure that his son has the prerequisite qualifications and was slowly gromed both
professionally and academically for an eventual takeover.Currently he is understudying the current Managing Director for
a future takeover. That is how a succession plan should be for most Malawian businesses if we are to be there next 50 years
from today. Wish the young man all the best and he should just add the human face to his work all will be fine.
Congratulations young man ,use your skills to take FDH bank to another level, you and your sister ndinu ma role models , it is high time now for your to drive business into the right direction
bank ya bambo ake mumati amuyikepo ndani??????
Paja ndi Bank ya Mpesa eti? ndinayiwala
What do you expect?
He is the son of Mpinganjira. no need to waste time justifying his few years experience for such a challenging position. We have quite a number of Malawians who can fit well and perform better on that position.
He would have just said
His surname is ‘Mpinganjira ‘ he has been appointed a Deputy CEO of FDH Bank
and it will sum everything up
