Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika on Wednesday night  called an emergency Cabinet meeting at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre.

Cabinet sources said the meeting at Sanjika was arranged  to discuss  how the government should tackle the backlash over controversial quota system which has come mainly from the northern region.

President Mutharika threw his weight behind the university selection system but voices from the northe have condemned the re-introduction of the “discriminatory” system.

Livingstonia Synod of the CCAP in the north, Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (Mzuzu Diocese), Forum for new Direction (Fond) and ruling DPP’s director of political affairs, Harry Mkandawire have all criticised the system.
