A lesson to all Malawians start taking your responsibilities seriously. You bear 20 children because you think government should pay for their education? its high time we start being serious about these issues and stop these rudimentary arguments.

UNDULE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT Malawi Is the poorest country not only in Africa but the whole world. it is not in order therefore to compare Malawi Universty fees with South African universities or any other country on earth. Malawi is the poorest on earth. If you want to have a proper comparison then take Livingstonia University, Catholic Univeristy, and other Malawi local universities because they are trading under the same economy. What is the percentage of students from kamuzu academy among the UNIMA student population?………Undule is dope

lets stop giving excuses about our poverty to get free stuff. its high time people started doing something for their government and realize that the world doesn’t operate on freebies and rather if you want something you have to work for it!!!!! ulesi a Malawi and kuzolowera zaulere that is why we will never get anywhere ! everywhere people pay for their college education, only very rich countries offer heavily subsidized college education and our poverty should actually make us lean more towards cost sharing with the government. WAKEUP MALAWI AND STOP DREAMING……IN REAL LIFE YOU WORK HARD TO EARN… Read more »

This group is shayiti. Mwakasungula is a wacker. You are the ones who need to use reason and not the students. Are you students yourselves? Or do you have a relative or your kid that you are paying school fees for? You are the ones politicising this issue because you have been bribed. Am ashamed that I come from the north. Undule thinks through the asshole. You want school fees to be 1mill compared to other countries forgetting that our economy is as useless as you are Mr Mwakasuku. Civil society my foot. Please UNIMA students beat these dogs to… Read more »

If the economy is bad then where will govt get money to pay these fees.

Let them go and get a student loan – there is nothing for free in this world. We can not continue taxing same 10% for ever whilst the so called poor continue to irresponsibly churn out children.

the majority of people who are advocating for increased fees went to school using kachasu money today they have forgotten that and they want to purnish other students who are going to college using kachasu money .

its not punishing them, learn lessons from that, their parents were selling Kacahsu to pay for education, it wasn’t free, hence comparatively the current cost is a joke if you expect to get proper college education. Costs sharing people!!!!!! government is already heavily subsidizing education, stop looking for freebies……handouts are killing us that is why there is cashgate everywhere because people want returns where they haven’t invested anything at all……

For the first time Undule if he really said this I can say he is now STUPID. Can UNIMA have majority from Kamuzu Academy??? Foolish and I hope mwamuika mawu mkamwa m’bale’yu. On radio he only said there is need for dialogue

Those who claim that majority of students at UNIMA come from rpriivate schools like Kamuzu Academy are stupid. There are many students who cannot manage to pay such fees. How much money do people get paid per month to afford such fees? That is why there is alot of stealing in these country by public servants. We are not saying that UNIMA should not have increased the fees, but this could have been a gradual increament.

Then why can’t you just stop manufacturing babies? Who forced you to have those numerous poor souls (children)? I think it’s not fair to some of us to see the government spending my tax on children whose parents are irresponsible like you.

Providing tertiary education is critical investment that any responsible government does with pride. University council and government should understand that providing university education is government responsibility and therefore should ensure that the youths are not denied their right to the same. How does government make decisions of investments. when you consider Malata subsidy, we can easily stop this and divert the resources to running of the universities. invest in the future development rather than consumption only.

@atate….thanks. However, I have two things to say. First, Malawian parents should learn to be responsible for their own actions. Why are we “manufacturing” these precious children when we know we don’t have capacity to give them their needs? Finally, the issue of human rights is misunderstood in Africa including Malawi. A right goes hand-in-hand with responsibility, at least in fully matured democratic countries I know. But in Africa, we claim to have a right to B, D, M, and Q without responsibility. Government is not a relief agency and it is not its responsibility to pay school fees for… Read more »
