NJOMBWA BWANA,you must be suffering from unknown malady.You can not compare your idiot Mathanyula with President Khama in the sense that he is running the best economy in the whole of Africa,while your fellow rat-eater Peter runs the poorest economy in the continent.Khama is running a corrupt-free democratic country,while your fellow Lomwe Peter,runs the most corrupt government in Africa,Khama runs a non-tribalistic nation,while Peter runs a regime based on ethnical lines.The English spoken by Peter is full of jargon that is why he was fired from the Washington State University,USA,because the students could not comprehend what he was teaching.In short,he… Read more »

Iwe Winston. Learn to read between the lines and follow the argument. My point was that regardless of not having tertiary education, they are better presidents than APM.

BRAVO MWANA WA KWITHU STEVEN NHLANE!!! Your narration has aroused my admiration.It is a fact that the majority of Malawians have been intoxicated with Banda’s hallucination hence,their weakness in judgements,this is frustration beyond comprehension.We must be educated here, let’s not fool our selves that if war breaks out between Malawi and Tanzania,Malawi will win the war,that is totally fallacy.Afterall,Malawi has never been at war since independence apart from Mwanza-Neno conflict between Malawi Armed Forces helped by South Africa’s Boer Armed Forces against Yatuta Chisiza’s highly trained freedom fighters.According to reliable sources, the Malawi Government has never revealed any information pertaining… Read more »

The earthquakes and tremors which have befallen Tanzania are just the beginning of the many catastrophic events which are to come and be faced by them if they stupidly want to go ahead, falsely claiming part of our waters. God has always fought our battles, and this will not be the last time. A wave of sickness and economic catastrophy will follow and so on. By the time M D F will be involved Tanzania will have already been reduced to pulp. Just watch it, my fellow patriots.

All the reasons given in this article as justification for Malawi needing the lake more than Tanzania are not convincing. Malawi does not need the lake for herself inorder to use it for transport nor for fishing and neither for irrigation. Malawi does not need any justification for its claims to the whole of the lake where it shares borders with Tanzania because its just a fact that the lake is Malawi’s since history and there is documentation for that. So i dont see any need for justifying the claim by giving lame reasons

History is history. We are in the present. Same argument can be used for Lake Tanganyika. Just because Tz was called Tanganyika then when it became Tanzania the lake should have changed to Lake Tanzania!!! Have you ever heard, “correcting historical wrongs” You can’t continue with a wrong just because it is historical therefore it must be right.A lie repeated over a long period is misconstrued as the truth until someone corrects it. If history is all what is needed then let the waters continue with their historical name “Nyasa” That is what it was called historically.Let call it Lake… Read more »

The lake is for all people of the lakeshore districts including the districts in Tanzania! A country with intentions to explore and exploit any possible oil or gas on a freshwater lake does not deserve a lake!

Steven Nhlane-your line of thought is gravely flawed on MDF’s military prowess. You only got it right on economic losses we may incur with regard to Dar-Es salaam port and our under utilisation of the lake. You do not have moral grounds to underrate MDF’s skills and tactical ability. It is not your domain. Your line of thought -????? Probably that is why you were fired as presidential secretary. Having fighter jets and amphibian vehicles is half the story. See how soldiers from that country you are praising are faring in DRC- as compared with my skillful brothers! I am… Read more »

It would make sense if you went to war over an island. It would be stupid to fight over water because no one can occupy it. As it is the water in the lake is low. It means Tz border is moving towards Malawi – if the border is on Tz shore.

Wake up Malawi. Let swallow the bitter pill and accept that the border is in the middle of the lake. Tz will not change the map and international community will be on their side. Forget the stupid Heligoland treaty.

Is that all you can say? Kuthedwa nzeru kumeneko. I can asure you that APM knows the resolutions of mediators. Let wait for him to show us his teeth and claim that the whole lake belongs to Malawi. Remember the statement released by the mediators in 2013/14. They said Tanzania and Malawi should share the resources of the lake like water etc. Read in between the lines. The stupidity of us Malawians is that we think writing or speaking good English is and indication of intelligent. Put Muthalika, Khama and Zuma in the same room and tell us who will… Read more »

Steven Nhlane-your line of thought is gravely flawed on the prowess of MDF. You only got it right on the economic loss with regard to significance of Dar-Esalaam port. You do not have moral grounds to undermine MDF’s skills and tactical ability. It’s not your domain. Having fighter jets and amphibian vehicles is half the story. Remember a bad carpenter blames his own tools. See how that country’s soldiers you are praising are faring in DRC- as compared to my skillful brothers. I am very proud of them. See how many fighter jets have been downed in their own country.… Read more »

There is no substane in this post. The reality is the Tz people along the shore equally need watet, transport, fish and any resource that is available in the water that touch their shores. Whether Tz has other shared lakes or Indian ocean is neither here or there. Lake Tanganyika is shared by by 4 countries, Burundi, Zambia, DRC and Tanzania. Lake Victoria is shared by 3 countries. Infact it was legally wrong for Malawi to have renamed Lake Nyasa. That anomaly was ignored because of cold war. If a person looks at any international map, one clearly notices that… Read more »

I know you, Njombwa Bwana. You are not a Malawian but Tanzanian. And I know currently you are not in Tanzania. I know exactly where you are and what you eat. This is Malawian forum. I don’t know what you are doing here. Stop this! A month ago you were in Dar es Salaam, is this what you advised your illiterate president?

Not all Malawians support everything just because it is for Malawi. Present your facts which can convince the world. Where else in the world does this stupidity play out? Lake means water – not land or island. If the lake dries up where will the border be? Use common sense. Don’t even think. Mozambique rightly has its portion – why do you think Tz can forego their portion?. Wake up and smell the coffee. We are no longer in cold war era or west versus east shenanigans.
