  4. Illegal immigrant, you were not there at that time. At tha time there were no free trade and the people were not placed on internship by the notorious and murder Kamuzu. The collage students were very few. You can imagine Polytechnic had only two degree programmes. It is only you and Tambala wakuda that miss Kamuzu. By the how old or young was he at the time you are referring to? This guy was born in 1897 which means he became president of Malawi at the age of 67 in 1964 and left office at the age of 97 in 1994. APM will be much younger than Kamuzu at the time he will be leaving office in 2024.
