From what I know is that democracy is a government for the people,by the people and of the people while autocracy is a government for one,by one and of one no further meaning beyond that.You can give credit to your messiah for being a despot,but to some of us we agree to disagree.I strongly disagree that Banda became a brutal despot because he was induced by his lackeys or henchmen.To say the fact,when this fraudster came into Malawi,he had absolutely nothing significant to offer Malawians politically and economically and therefore the people were caught unprepared they did not know the… Read more »

As your Father or GrandPa how they lived under kamuzu. To glorify him in this manner shows lack of insight of what the man was capable of doing. Now Bingu, He was stubborn and thought he was doing a country a favour forgetting that he was elected and given the mandate by the people of Malawi. Bingu merely implemented UDF plans in his first tenure. UDF were holding to the end of the bargain to keep itself in power for longer by taking time to implement these plans. They got sidetracked by 3rd term which led to their downfall. What… Read more »

This is the best of the best articles I have ever read on nyasatimes.

I totally agree with you true son of the soil.
Even a family where the father does not apply dictatorial tendencies, it doesn’t work.
Look now, public reforms as good as they are, we are failing to implement them because of the longest approval chain.
Government proposed to increase public school fees,as good as it was it was later rejected by some MPs. A list goes on .

Kamuzu had a purpose and direction to steer the country to greater heights, but the hangers-on, “self proclaimed” relatives, bootlickers etc fed him with diabolical stories for their personal gain.

Democracy is bad for the Malawian electorate because of literacy levels. Leaders are voted into power not because of policies but by giving merely hand outs. That is why bad leaders can be elected to power. How does a poor granny in the village know about economic policies and good governance . It is only 11% of the population who can understand that. Remember majority rules in democracy. Democracy is foreign culture of divide and rule. Malawi is so divided in democracy than Kamuzu’s era. Remember what Gadhafi said when he visited Malawi “Democracy has been imposed to you because… Read more »

Dictatorship is the best. We are very far away from democracy, Chihana was wrong and power hungry together with the Muluzi to cheat us and bring democracy. But Kamuzu well corrected grammer after he had stayed abroad long period of time and new what democracy mean clearly stated that it is war. We have really seen that it is war. E.g cash gate, drug theft in hospital, corruption, poor economy, high inflation rate, Killing, and many more. If Kamuzu had inception democracy in Malawi in 1964 this country could be no more other than being divided apart to Mozambique, Tanzania… Read more »

Yes indeed, democracy is for the rich, because they have little to complain about. For a poor country like Malawi to develop, we do not need Democracy. Let me open your thinking Malawians “Democracy is colonisation of the world by Satanists. They force you to do things the way they thing not the way you think. They limit you in all you do. They do not want you to be free. They play with your brain (confusing you). That is why when we look back at Kamuzu’s development it stands the test of time. Bingu and his developments leaves us… Read more »

We need strong ,dynamic and selfless leadership not dictator ship. Tell me which country under dictatorship has ever developed. We need leaders who has the welfare of their people at heart not dictatorship. Not these nepotistic and greedy leaders who are there to steal and loot.
