Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) is considering revoking Zodiak Broadcasting Station's (ZBS) license following a false report that President Arthur Peter Mutharika had 'sneaked out' of the country. The decision comes after ZBS apologized for the error and withdrew the story. MACRA is set to impose a stiff penalty on ZBS, while MBC has suspended staff involved in a similar false report.
