The “Warm Heart of Africa” turned into a theatre of luxury this past weekend as Malawians celebrated Valentine’s Day with unprecedented flair, led by the country’s high-profile celebrity couples.
From the streets of Blantyre to the timelines of Instagram and Facebook, the weekend was a sea of red and white. While many Malawians took to their WhatsApp statuses to appreciate their partners with heartfelt messages and plastic roses, two particular power couples decided to “break the scale” of romance with high-end luxury gifts.
Business mogul Dr. Thom Mpinganjira once again proved that he is in a league of his own. The billionaire businessman reportedly surprised his wife, Trephonia Mpinganjira, with a brand-new Rolls Royce on her birthday which happen to be a valentine day as well.
Photos of the sleek, ultra-luxury vehicle began circulating on Sunday morning, quickly becoming the talk of the town. For many, the gift solidified the couple’s status as Malawi’s ultimate “Goals” in the world of romance and wealth.

Not to be outdone, the self-proclaimed “Amapiano Mayor,” Zeze Kingston, sent social media into a frenzy with a surprise for his wife, Dorothy Kingston.
Zeze presented Dorothy with a stunning, brand-new Range Rover Velar. A viral video of the surprise shows a visibly shocked Dorothy being led to the car, which was adorned with a giant red ribbon. The comment sections across Malawian “shades” were filled with thousands of “Wow” reactions as fans marveled at the singer’s romantic gesture.

While the luxury cars stole the headlines, the local economy also felt the love. Shop owners and florists in major cities like Lilongwe and Blantyre reported high profits, as fresh and plastic roses became the “must-have” accessory for the weekend.
The weekend’s displays of affection have sparked a lively debate on Malawian social media. While many applauded the couples for their generosity, others jokingly complained about the pressure these celebrity gifts are putting on regular relationships.
“The way things are going, next year someone will be gifting a private jet just for Valentine’s,” joked one Facebook user.
