And the DPP government has got guts to call these ” decent” houses. Let Times magazine come and take photographs of the same houses then publish them on the front page of their magazine with the tittle ” DECENT HOUSES IN MALAWI.” Some people have been commenting on this forum that the cause of poverty in Malawi is not about lack of natural resources but the way politicians think.
