-

By: Bright Malenga, Chief Editor.

National Muslim Students Association (NAMSA) has elected new members into it's National Executive Committee (NEC) during an elections conference held on Saturday at College of Medicine in Blantyre.

The elections saw Yasin Sadi from College of Medicine as  new NAMSA Chairperson and Shukran Shaban from the same college as Deputy Chairperson.

New NAMSA Secretary General is Aisha Senga from Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) and her deputy is Tanweera Chikwata from Bunda College, a constituent college of Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Luanar).

The new NAMSA Treasurer is Saad Kamwendo from MUST and his deputy is Abdul Hamid Mpemba from The Polytechnic.

The new Publicity Secretary is Allie Jafarie from Chancellor College and the NEC has five Executive Members.

Outgoing National Muslim Students Association (NAMSA) Chairperson,  Jafar Jameson says his two year term in office has seen the Muslim students body achieving several things.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with  Islamic Information Kit, Jameson said
It has been a good experience which gave  him different decision making and problem solving skills.

"More importantly the chance to lead my fellow students is something that I will always be grateful for. I was given a position which gave me the chance to work with students for better of the whole Muslim community in the country,"

"During my tenure, we have achieved alot and we have failed to achieve other planned activities," Jameson said.

According to the outgoing  chairperson,  the achievements include registration of NAMSA, establishment of regional Muslim Students Associations(MSA's), conducting career talks to secondary schools in different districts, making NAMSA known to students across Malawi and strengthen our relationship with other Islamic organizations for the benefit of students and the whole Muslim community at large.

However, Jameson admitted that the journey also had some challenges.

"The challenges include lack of resources to undertake our planned activities, other planned activities were not carried out or were not carried out fully for example we managed to visit just few districts,other organizations do not recognize our role in ensuring welfare of students and other students do not want to be led by NAMSA
Muslim students are just many now," He said.

Jemeson added that "If we can unite and have a vibrant leadership,we can be stronger than ever and the Muslim community can benefit from us alot."


The conference was under the theme "Effects of inefficient leadership in Muslim community in Malawi."

The meeting brought together students from all colleges in the country including Chancellor College, College of Medicine, The Polytechnic, Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Luanar) among others.
