The Malawi High Commission Tanzania joined other SADC Missions for the launch Vodacom Tanzania’s M-Pesa campaign dubbed Dunnia Kijiji, Afrika ni M-Pesa which enables people in Tanzania to send money to SADC countries including Malawi.
Also gracing the event was the Minister of Foreign Affairs and East Africa Cooperation, Dr Stergomena Lawrence Tax who expressed her delight on the fact that mobile money has become Africa’s leading digital payment platform connecting millions across the continent and facilitating international trade and remittances.
The new development means that Malawians in Tanzania can send money to Malawi using M-Pesa and receivers can get it through their bank accounts in Malawi or through their mobile money numbers such as Airtel Money and TNM Mpamba.
