Its so funny that these confused, misguided, uneducated saveges managed to organise themselves and start to terrorise an area, yet the adults (wiser and educated) failed to organise themselves to cub these gangs, set them alight or hand them to police if need be.
Amange onsewo – why should Malawi be terrorise with kids? Manga them and jail them and skill them – kuba is not a skill.
