MACRA has rolled out the SIM card re-registration campaign by partnering Malawi’s top reggae outfit, Ma Blacks as they launched their Kuimba13 album at COMESA Hall in Blantyre and Aero Lounge in Lilongwe at the weekend.
Under the new regulations individuals can register up to 5 SIM cards with a single National ID, while companies or institutions can register up to 30 SIM cards.
The SIM card re-registration process by the network providers runs from October 1, 2025, to May 2026.
Numbers that will not be re-registered within this window period shall be removed from the system. Any single ID registration with more than five SIM cards shall attract a penalty of K50000 per day from the day of registration.
Comedy duo of Ching’aning’ani and Sosoka were also stage to deliver the SIM card-re-registration message.
