The Forum for the Future of Africa based in Windhoek Namibia is following the all African political and economic developments taking in our continent,Malawi is not an exception we are with you. What we just want to request Malawians and Zimbabweans is the mindset change and the need to develop new attitudes towards our governments,activists and all those that are playing a role in the development of our states.First all we must know that each and everyone has his good side and bad side, we must not waste our time focusing more on the negative side of our torch bearers lets switch to positive side so that we can change Africa. Castigating our leaders will never do us good.Late Kamuzu Banda was an enemy of multiparty with many souls lost, Bakili Muluzi came with hope but many things happened good and bad.If we waste our time negativising our countries we will never do our states good. If there is any mankind that has done the worst in Africa is a whiteman the colonizers but we forgot all those and we live together side by side.Cant we do the same among ourselves? Our appeal is one to all Malawians,Zimbabweans and other Africans;lets unite and stop the life of scaling one another.We must stop undermining one another, to us we say Kamuzu Banda did his best, Robert Mugabe also did what he could best do,so is Muluzi and we thank Bingu Wa Mutharika for we believe he is also doing his best, across the border Morgan Tsvangirai must also be praised for what his best has shown losing his wife on the expense of the people.Lets support our leaders for their contributions to the betterment of our continent Africa.
These atrocities committed by african leaders have got nothing to do with whites.These countries have been independent for 20 or 30 years and you end up lying to us.African leaders are the worst oppressors for their fellow africans.We hate the lame excuses.Mr Juma mistakes should be pointed out where things are going wrong than pretending that our leaders are doing fine.Go and do a proper research.
But SAUNDERS your mistake is that you have grouped malawi and Zimbabwe in the same category.The fact that mugabe attended the celebrations does not mean that malawi and zimbabwe are equal.This are two different nations with different ideologies.May be for your information malawi is the second most peacefull country in africa beating your own contry unless you are from Botswana.To the other hand zimbabwe is amongst the most unpeaciful countries.SAUNDERS, malawians are unpredictable people-unlike most of you africans, malawians act like children they easilly reconcile after a disagreement, how much they may disagree they never fight or engage in a war.So from today own when you see some verbal tussling in hear dont think we are a divided nation.
Palibe hero in the politics of Malawi.They are all opportunist.Somebody getting elected because of coming from the mass uneducated majority and ena by handpicking method.Nothing interesting in malawian politics ngati zakamwana ka Obama kaja.Ndale zake zolotolelana zoipa zokhazokha pamene mwakhala.kaya zanu bakanganani zinthu zopanda mitu ngati izo.
