She didnt say anthu azilankhula Chichewa bwanji kodi nanunso?Read again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zomwe akuchita Kabwila ndi zomwe imachita ministry of Education, adopting any novel idea to change syllabus so long as a donor dangles money. One day they will tell you that this is a better assessment method and they will come tomorrow and say but the best method is this one. One Phillip Business with his Malata and Cement Subsidy programme was on air last night. Visiting beneficiaries in Mzimba Solola. I can tell yu the guy struggled to communicate with old gurus whose only language id Tumbuka. One old lady asked a youngster to translate Chichewa into Tumbuka for her… Read more »
Gogodasi ali ndi mfundo. Kabwila is a lecturer in English. She knows that there are some words which are well understood when said in English than Chichewa. The diction in Chichewa is very limited. You can’t compare with languages like Swahili which have a rich diction such that the entire science subject can be taught in Swahili. Some objects are also respectable when mentioned in English. For instance, if you say she pulled her husband’s penis, it becomes lighter than saying the same in Chichewa.
Issa, don’t be myopic. There is a difference between a country that was under colonialism and those that colonised others. In other words, colonial legacy is what is dictating the systems of other countries in the world like Malawi. The countries you have mentioned have never been colonised and they had to develop their own systems from scratch and yet our parliamentary system is patterned after the British system and France’s former colonies in West Africa and elsehwre in the world for instance followed suit. I am afraid I would not buy your argument because Malawi has no influence over… Read more »
I agree with Kabwil. her main argument is that the citizens are not able to follow deliberatios in parlimanent becaise of high iliteracy levels. Poor participation of MPs is also an isue, but not the most critical one. When one analyses the comments, the focus is on MPs’ capacity to talk in English. Should nyasatimes also be in vernacula so everyone can understand postings like this?
Good, I support this one, So many civilised countries use their languages not because they are not educated but communication is a two way process. Countries like Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, China, Russia, France , Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Turkey and many don’t use English because is a borrowed language apart from being C………….
Kabwila-Kapasula’s proposal just confirms my previous suspicion: that she just adopts many ideas holus bolus, without even a rudimentary analysis. …and it has taken her only one (allowanceable) meeting/conference to come up with this nonsense! This is a nonstarter in Malawi. For reasons some of which are obvious: we are a VERY poor country. And who’s going to pay for the translation services into all the indigenous languages of ours etc etc? This girl should have consulted knowledgeable people before throwing this idea out like this. But NO, she’s NOT a team player. Rather a know-it-all. Aaaaaaaa. And people cannot… Read more »
