Raphael Tenthani, a long-serving BBC Malawi correspondent, was known for his unconventional style. He often dressed in shaggy clothes, attended press conferences in tattered attire, and rarely took a shower.
There were rumors that Tenthani believed in witchcraft and was aided by a famous witchdoctor in Malawi to secure his job at the BBC. According to these rumors, the witchdoctor instructed him not to wear decent clothing, threatening that he would go mad if he did so.
Tenthani passed away in a road accident. His unique approach to dress has been remembered, with some photos showing him in casual, worn-out clothes.
As reported by The Kenyan DAILY POST, Tenthani's style was distinct from the typical expectation of TV reporters wearing smart designer suits.
