MALAWI: Meta, TikTok Officials Arrive for Talks with Local Creators
By Smile Hamilton Malawi
Senior officials from Meta Platforms and TikTok have arrived in Malawi for engagements with local digital content creators.
The meeting is scheduled to take place on Thursday at the Bingu International Convention Centre in the capital, Lilongwe.
Director General of the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA), Mayamiko Nkoloma, confirmed the development through a post on his official social media page.
Meanwhile, a senior MACRA official, Limbani Nsapato, said at least 1,900 content creators registered to attend the meeting, but only selected participants have received official invitation letters.
The engagement comes at a time when local creators are pushing for monetization opportunities through digital platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
Currently, most Malawian creators do not earn revenue directly from their content, with many only benefiting after registering their accounts in foreign countries where monetization programs
are active.
