After reviving in 2001 the pageant continued to crown a Miss Malawi until 2012. It was managed by Carver Bhima's company Events Management.[2] Since 2016, the contest has been managed by Nation Publications and Zodiak Broadcasting Station.

Controversies

At the 2012 Miss World, Susan Mtegha pushed Miss New Zealand, Collette Lochore, during the opening headshot of the pageant, claiming that Miss New Zealand was in her space.[3] This action caused a stir throughout the media.
