It all boils down to how committed are we as parents to educate our siblings. when we are old it will be their turn to assist us. koma tikawalekelera lero zidxskhala zigawenga komanso osasamala makolo
thanks very much for writing about the senior cizrn plight in malawi .last week idid write about the same issue seing that malawi dont recognise the senior citizen as they are the ones who helped built this country in south africa senior citizen get monthly grants of over R1400 amonth and in namibia they get paid 1000 namibian dollar.just to mention a few.pls dont bring the excuse of malawi being a poor country cos even the newly elected namibian president said cut the government trips and expenditures in order for the senior citizen to get something .
Well, Levi, you are such a breadth of fresh air. Food for thought for most of us, even at a personal level. What have we done to make a difference for the elderly?
One of the facts about Malawi that South Africans find difficult to comprehend is when you tell them that there is no “Social Grant” (as it is called in SA) for the elderly in Malawi. The next question you get from them is, “So how does the elderly survive”?

Comment….THE PROBLEM WITH MALAWIANS EVERY ONE TAKES HIMSELF AS BETTER THAN EVERYBODY. JB PROGRAM WAS THE EASIEST TO PROVIDE HOUSES TO THE NEEDY. UNFORTUNATELY APM LOOKS AT IT AS NOT SUITABLE AND USELESS AND STARTS HIS OWN WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE.
