Malawi's First Lady Gertrude Mutharika, who is currently embroiled in a scandal involving K5 million which she collected from the country's...
Mr Kaipa, let us resist from blaming politicians for all problems we have as a country. Politicians are not a solution. We are individuals equally responsible. Ask yourself as a man what have you done to have permanent food security for your family. What have you done to help your village mates? Your people are marrying and having many babies like nobody’s business thinking that government will bail them out. A small land like Malawi but the population is growing at alarming rate. We are not investing the little we have in manufacturing but we are leaving it in the… Read more »
This is a nice picture. The little girl is so cute and innocent.
It does not help that we have a clueless president. The president and his “wife” are busy siphoning money meant for the most vulnerable people who really feel the blunt of food insecurity.
I just love the little girl. Lol
50 years of independence; Malawi still poor, backward, and typed in primitive tendencies (nepotism, tribalism, witchcraft, etc). It is a shame that 5 decades after independence agric. is performing below subsistence thresholds, corruption and poverty are rife. Cry the beloved country
This Mr Kainja is a very good topic for serious discussion, because it transcends political alignments and politicking should be left out of it. Whether we like it or not Malawi is still a subsistence economy,in the sense that the majority of the population produce just enough to feed themselves. If we as a nation want to eliminate the persistent food insecurity, then we have to be looking at encouraging commercial farming. Let the majority produce for their food, and have a minority that will produce for the urban, and subsidise them. At the same time discourage the majority who… Read more »

Hunger must become history. We need another Moses, another Joshua. When God wants to save a people, he raises up one of their own. I grew up under conditions of extreme deprivation. Education emancipated me from poverty and hunger. The long term solution is to educate every child, and equip them with employable skills. We need good, even exportable, carpenters, good plumbers, good masons, good painters, good electricians, good mechanics, skilled metal fabricators that can make good agricultural equipment, etc. Secondly, we need to revolutionalise agriculture. We have been stuck here for too long. Change starts from within; and the… Read more »
