TNM plc’s 30-year anniversary celebration in Blantyre was a testament to the company’s role as a key driver of Malawi’s digital transformation. The event, held under the theme ’30 years of growth and connection’, highlighted the company’s contributions to the country’s socio-economic development. According to TNM plc chief executive officer Michel Hebert, the milestone is a story of empowerment, innovation, and national progress. Hebert emphasized that the company’s success is not just about its growth, but about the lives it has touched and the communities it has empowered.

The company has invested heavily in network infrastructure, with K1 trillion invested over the past three decades. Additionally, TNM plc paid K45 billion in taxes last year, with expectations of paying over K50 billion this year. The company’s commitment to reinvesting its profits into the country’s economy has made it a significant contributor to Malawi’s economic growth. As a 100 percent Malawian-owned business, TNM plc is a shining example of local entrepreneurship and a testament to the power of "uziranu" (self-reliance) in driving economic development.

Minister of Information and Communications Technology Shadric Namalomba commended TNM plc for being a true partner in development, noting its strong contribution to the country’s socio-economic development. He highlighted the company’s role in driving inclusion, empowering small businesses, and supporting national development through technology. The minister’s remarks emphasized the importance of "ufumu" (partnership) between the private and public sectors in driving Malawi’s economic growth.

During the event, TNM plc announced new innovations, including unlimited Internet through fixed wireless access for homes and businesses. This move is expected to drive digital transformation and provide more Malawians with access to high-speed Internet. The company also announced an upgraded TNM Mpamba platform, which will expand digital financial services and deepen financial inclusion in the country. These innovations are expected to have a significant impact on Malawi’s economy, particularly in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sector, which is a key driver of economic growth and job creation. With these new innovations, TNM plc is poised to continue playing a leading role in Malawi’s digital transformation, "kugwira ntchito" (working together) with the government and other stakeholders to drive economic growth and development.
