The basic issue is not addressed: education is an equalizer that can stop poverty from running in families, and supports the rights of children from poor families. This market-based approach is contravening the rights of the child, and is alien to Africa. This is capitalism imported from the west, instead of our homegrown umunthu, where the whole community supports the weak.

Sad for both the students and the University Council. Unfortunately when one decides to enroll for University, one is already aware that quality University Education doesn’t come cheap every where in the world. Gone are the days when governments provided free and subsidized education. Obtaining bursaries for needy students is the way to go and this is perhaps where the government should open more avenues for loans and bursaries. ” Fees Must Fall” implying free education is a stupid slogan copied from South Africa which has failed and can not succeed in Malawi though how much politicized it can be.

Uladi and Chakwera are hypocrites. These fees were factored in the 2016/2017 UNIMA budget which the two opposition leaders approved through their vote in Parliament when they approved the National budget.

Or did they approve deliberately with the aim of pointing fingers at government as if they were not party to it??? Stupid fools!!!!!!!

All I see is political posturing by our opposition parties than to be part of solutions to national challenges. Otherwise, the PP, which Uladi Mussa heads and was a minister in the cashgate thieving government, is the one that chased donors leading to these economic problems. I wonder where they get the guts to blame the current government on their shit before us. As for MCP, you found us poor and you left us even poorer than the colonial government left us despite all those ‘cold war’ and ‘apartheid’ aid windfalls and benefits. I believe 31 year was more than… Read more »

Obviously you are either a blind supporter or intellectually challenged. Or you were born in mult party era so your ability to compare the two eras is compromised by inadequate experience in the one party system. For you information almost anything you see around is a testimony of Dr Bandas work. In the north we had Hara Wobve Kabwafu Mbalachanda agricultural schemes producing food and forex the centre had General farming press farming spearhead enterprise buwa rice scheme FFCTA and the south had zmpheta in zomba. There were a lot of manufacturing companies such as Noil producing oil from cotton… Read more »

When time is ripe, Joyce Banda will step down as PP president and then hand over the mantle to her son.Mr Mussa will then be left in the cold.Remember what happened to Jumbe in UDF.
