The United States Embassy in Malawa has congratulated Malata for being awarded.
“Malata is fit for the purpose as she is the first female vice chancellor at a public university in Malawi, a trailblazing academic in science, technology, mathematics and an advocate for child and maternal health” said the embassy.
