This is very bad. Malawians are all the world because of poverty. Malawians are all over the world looking for everything such as, food, clothes, education and jobs. All because of poor leadership we had since 1964. We Malawians must blame ourselves for our poverty. We have contributed so much for this poverty because we let our leaders to cheat us, rob us oppress us yet we keep quiet. As if we don’t have a parliament. Let us wake up and rise and get rid of these selfish leaders. Revolution is the answer to Malawi.

The unfortunate trend seems not to abate,and as such,our young people are exposed to dangerous options far away from their homeland and we can not extend our hands as far as South Africa to set them free from eminent dangers.This is the ramifications of an inept leadership of Muthalika and his ” gang of looters”.As we are now,we do not have stable and well to do institutions to control government machinery and its leaders hence,the egregious falling or collapse of the whole nation.The so-called leaders have abandoned the welfare of Malawians and they are busy looting tax-payers’ funds at will,while… Read more »

Malawians remember what your government under despotic Mphonongo Banda did to our South African brothers and sisters during their liberation struggles,It is the people of Zambia,Tanzania,Mozambique,Zimbabwe who patriotically helped the people of ( AZANIA) South Africa to liberate their country.Then,Mphonongo Banda’s neo- colonialist puppet regime,joined the imperialist Band-Wagon to oppress our brothers and sisters of AZANIA.What South Africans are doing to our people now is something we call TIT for TAT.whether you like it or not.How would a country under 52 years of nationhood shamelessly fails to creat jobs and feeds its own people? As Iam writing this piece,millions of… Read more »

Dear Ms Enelless Nyale, Some corrections to your article: 1. The increase of Malawian numbers at Lindela Repatriation Camp is not just because of the economic issue in Malawi. South Africa has also been battling with its economy. At the same time the Malawi kwacha lost against the dollar, the Rand lost from 1$ to R11 up to 1$ to R16. It is easier and cheaper for South Africa to repatriate illegal immigrants to Mozambique, Zimbabwe, etc. because of the proximity. South Africa is running out of funds to repatriate Malawians. Remember this is budget is allocated and the finance… Read more »

Malawi Government, cant we have our own “Bosasa Operations” to deal with illegal immigrants loitering around devil street, biwi, bwandilo, mchesi and all over. Please we need to be in control of our country & resources.

We need to fix our economy here, so we dont lose educated people who can help malawi develop. But with low salaries and kwacha depreciation which has been too much in the past few years it will be difficult to keep them here as it is not possible to have a decent living when things are going up everyday. Let us fix the economy and have a strong kwacha for the future of our country

Chuma chiri munthaka. Tiyeni tirime soya beans and mtedza abale? I learnt that Lab Processors, Estrell Trading CO., Afrinut, Exagris, Sunseed Oil and Agriculture Commodity Exchange are looking for about 200,000 metric Tonnes of soya Beans. Malawi only produced about 110,000 last year. The Ministry of Agriculture should create awareness to citizens and encourage them to grow these cash crops. The Government should also make use of the water from Lake Malawi for irrigation purposes as part of investment spending. This could be a big operation and could create Jobs The Government should establish a State Owned Enterprise and start… Read more »
