Moyale Barracks coach Nicholas Mhango criticised his team for playing "pointless" football as their second-round poor form continued with a 2-1...
Those who benefit from injustice will always support the status quo; it is up to the suffers to fight against injustice. Martin Luther King and Mahtma Ghandi wrote about this, and history proves that it was the duty of Malawians to claim justice and not the whites to offer it freely; it was the suffering Malawians that fought for democracy, and not MCP to offer it freely. But before launching a fight any good cause, one has to establish whether injustice does exist, then talk it over with the perpetrator, and wait on action whether he is going to correct… Read more »
The call of FEDERATION it is very important call in the sense that it brings fairness,oness,equal destribution of resources,Development etc.So plz when you coment think first.
If there is a profession that is blessed with selfish and crafty individuals then politics has them in abandance. The country is now straggling economically because of the same group that always makes false promises of taking the country to a different level of development. As long as the cashgate issues are driven by politicians who have vested interest in the whole saga, there wont be any speedy resolution to this national tragedy. Let the lelevant bodies do their work independently to clean up the mess from its origin as quickly and methodically as they can. It is premature for… Read more »
I think I get it: the main problem in our country is corruption. Many politicians are corrupt to the core. Like all countries, Malawi has many problems; but the one that tops the list is CORRUPTION. And this one pretty well defeats all the good intentions that are supposed to accrue from the gallant efforts of many people. The unitary government we have is NOT problem per se. Apparently, the push for federalism/secession is top down, rather than the other way round. Clearly, the disgruntled politicians are the force majeure in this movement. Jimmy Kainja has it right: democratization and… Read more »
I think the issue of federalism is deliberately being misrepresented. I know some greedy politicians are not comfortable with it and they are using the fact that the Malawian majority are not well read hence their understanding of such is issues is below average. Since the time we attained democracy we have been ruled by big fools who conduct themselves as village headmen and not presidents. They still believes in developing their regions of origin forgetting that they are national presidents. Ever wondered why some infrastructure develpoment plans changed their original approved locations. I am from Ntcheu but I do… Read more »
Inu akumpoto atikwana azipita kwawo, they are a cancer to Malawi which need to be cut off. Secession basi not federalism
Wakemba bwino – vuto ali kwaife who are less informed of the works of government. The federalism call I think is coming the cashgaters to confuse the majority of Malawians in the name of northern region. I see no reason to all the needs of tigawane or federal government, coz the so called the northerner are the ones who are rated as educated and r in all the government offices and well placed in terms of therpir positions and power – one problem I have with them which many are my friends is that monopoly they back each and fixing… Read more »
Where are the five or Six questions you suggested on the title of the article? You seem to suggest that the Federalism or Secession issue is not important and there are other more important issues that the country has to deal with first. I respectfully disagree. Federalism or secession is my opinion a priority because it is about self determination. There is no one in the world who wants others to make decisions about there welfare. Russians would not want Americans to make decisions for them. The situation we have in Malawi is that we have one region, or should… Read more »
If proof was required as to how silly the whole federalism debate has become, you only need to read this sentence “Russians would not want Americans to make decisions for them”. Really? How stupid can one be?
The whole federalism debate will lead nowhere because it is based on raw emotion rather than reason. We have problems in the country, but if they cannot be solved at the national level it is sheer folly to imagine that they will be solved in federated regions…
All changes that have taken place throughout history has been based on raw emotion. Without “raw emotions” the world would bot be where it is today.
And do you dispute that Russians would not allow Americans to make their decisions for them?
chikadzakowani,if you sourtheners were emotionless,why did you introduce quota system using hearsays and rumours that northeners occupied more university places than you? so you see that emotions are good right? now you have your siblings with low IQ going to university because your sourthen president acted out of emotions and strted stopping intelligent people from enrolling in universities,so now dont stop others who want to help themselves via federalism and sessesion,do you understand me?
Where are the questions here my Friend? You have missed all a lot in your opinion, Please can you write again next time I think you are lost and not thinking strait this time around.
I like the whole article except what he said should be the questions to ask the secession/federalism proponents. I think the questions he asked are trivial and silly. I think we should be asking why most cashgate thieves are being revealed to be LAWYERS and yet thats the profession that earns more money! I think we need to be asking HOW federalism will limit powers of the central gvt in terms of the control of finances( coz thats where cashgate is) as the central gvt controls what goes in and out( unless the constitution is well tweaked). I think we… Read more »
