China's TV project links Malawi to the world

MANGOCHI, Malawi - One thing that first catches people's attention at Maximas Chimimba's thatched house on the shores of Lake Malawi is a satellite dish on the rooftop.

Chimimba, a fisherman in Mangochi district, is one of the very few Malawians whose households own a television set.

According to a 2014 survey by the National Statistical Office, only 11 percent of the country's households had working television sets.
