Timeline

1962

Benedicto Wokomaatani Malunga (born in 1962 ), also known as Ben Malunga, is a Malawian poet, writing in the Chichewa language.

He is also a short-story writer, an essayist, a music composer, public speaker, and translator who has translated Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart into Chichewa under the title Chipasupasu.

1986

Malunga holds a bachelor's degree from Chancellor College of the University of Malawi (1986) and an MA from Manchester University (1996) in the UK.

He is currently working as Registrar for the University of Malawi and Secretary of the University of Malawi Council.

Although born in Chikwawa in the south of Malawi, he was brought up from a young age in the village of Chabwera in Machinga District.

He attended Malosa Secondary School near Zomba.

Malunga is the author of three collections of poems (see Bibliography).

2002

In 2002 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) honoured him with an award for his creativity.

2010

In an interview in 2010, the poet Stanley Onjezani Kenani referred to Malunga as "Malawi's most famous poet".

He added: "Jack Mapanje is the most famous poet internationally. But when you talk of poetry in Malawi, in the villages, everywhere, the household name is Benedicto Malunga."

With a colleague Gospel Kazako, Malunga recorded the first Malawian cassette of poetry called Taimbani Alakatuli which was later followed by Ndidzakutengera Kunyanja Ligineti Ndi Ndakatulo Zina.

His compact disc titled Siananso Awa is regularly aired by various radio stations in Malawi.

Some of his short stories have appeared in the African Studies journal Ufahamu published by the University of California.

One of Malunga's poems, Misozi ya Chumba ('The Tears of the Barren Woman'), which puts into words the feelings of a woman unable to have children, was set for comment in the 2010 Chichewa International Baccalaureate exam.

This is an example of the social issues which Malunga's poetry tackles.

2015

As the University of Malawi turned 50 in 2015, he composed its first ever anthem.

Some of his poems, including Ndine yemwe uja, have also been turned into songs by Billy Kaunda.
