Somewhere and somehow, Malawi is being overdosed. God for sure is not happy with Malawi. We have stolen a lot what belongs to Malawi as a country. What would one benefit after amassing such huge sums of money when ordinary Malawians are suffering.
God start punishing all Malawians that stealing from Government coffers up to this very day. These people should never be peaceful, until their death.

I can’t believe this! Trevor was in form 4 when I was in form 1 at Robert Blake in the mid-80s and he was generally a decent man. Never could I imagine that one day his name would be associated with such evil practices. Sad and disappointed. And yes, he is from Ntcheu.
Welcome to the real world, Andrew! The life of (mostly) bwanas in Malawi.
