John, I really applaud you for taking bold not to let financial situation take away what belongs to you. I wish many young men were spending vacation doing something to contribute to their livelihood at college rather than leaving all the burden on parents.

I am sorry for what happened to you but I am sure God will be with you and you will come out even more determined! I wish you a bright future, John!

What pains me the more is the fact the Chancellor of University of Malawi I hear some day said there is nobody who has withdrawn from Unima Colleges due to fees. People knew that he was lying. Why should we let people make such comments without being punished. Perhaps he was not lying, he did not know that Poly has such students. If he did no know why should the same students carry heavy load of contributing to the running of the central office with full of redundant positions. Am I emotional? normally I am not, but it’s the pain… Read more »

this is most concerning for Malawi. It is regrettable that the bright, sensible and responsible young man faces such an uphill start to life. the university has no doubt policies to follow in cases such as this; however, i cannot imagine the unfairness dealt to this young man. surely, it would have been prudent for the university to have allowed him sit his final examinations and withhold the results until fees are paid rather than set him back another year do recover his studies. In most countries, that is what universities do; but am puzzled who the university is trying… Read more »

O…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….O “It is an idellible mark of intelligence to never let sorrow or excitement rob you of your ability to reason.” . . . Yes, the story of a university student being a guard is as sorrowful as the story of the guard being hacked (whether a student or otherwise). But just come to think of it! . . . How much was the university xool fees then? if not K275?, now K350 (paja APM akuti anachotsera)? . . . Can one raise this amount (K275) by being a guard (receiving K21) a month? No! Unless he/she is willing to… Read more »

You have missed it on this one #Analyst. Working as a guard would be one of his many undertakings to raise some funds. Having other part time jobs in the day, ti maganyu tina ndi tina then going for guarding in the evening. Ndizotheka ndithu. Kukakhala ku Lilongwe ndi madera ena ka ndalama komweko kulimako kapena kugula ka fodya ndikugulitsa ku Kanengo.

But as someone has pointed out, the university would still ahve let him sit for exams and just withhold his results and reserve his place. The college was harsh on him.

Somebody stupid enough tells us that we have a functioning government in Malawi. Pathetic. The story of Chione points to two serious problems in Malawi that this so called government has miserably to address despite the promises they made in the run up to the 2014 elections. First: dehumanizing levels of poverty. Second complete breakdown of security in the country. Pathetic country with pathetic and miserable government and president. The future is simply to bad for this country with this stupid government. Take it or leave it

My friend, this is indeed a sad development. However, don’t always think the president can solve every problem.

The sad thing is that 95% of students offered loans are not needy and this tricky situation makes real needy failing to access loans. The big challenge is to identify who is who. Remember last year one ward/ student of Chanco whose father is a lecture declared that he was needy and coming from a poor family…..
