Malawi should adopt rotational presidency system — Church

January 26, 2020 Jack Chirwa -Nyasa Times 104 Comments

Fed up with playing second fiddle in the Malawi political leadership space, the CCAP Synod of Livingstonia has says it is putting forward a proposal for the adoption of a rotational presidency in the country.

Rev Nyondo: The North feel marginalised, Livingstonia Synod for alternate presidency

In the 56-years since Malawi’s independence in 1964, no person from the Northern Region has led the country compared to the Centre (Kamuzu Banda, 1964-1994) and South shared between Yao-land and Lhomwe belt  (Bakili Muluzi, 1994-2004 – Yao land; Bingu wa Mutharika, 2004-2012 – Lhomwe belt; Joyce Banda, 20012-2014 (Yao land)  and Peter Mutharika, 2014-present – Lhomwe belt).

Resultantly, this has led the Northern Region to believe that the region has been denied development because they have not had one of their own leading government development which has prompted the Livingstonia Synod to demand that Malawi adopts a rotational presidency system to ensure equitable distribution of political powers across the three regions.

Synod general secretary Reverend Levi Nyondo said the church joined other proponents such as Inkosi ya Makhosi M’mbelwa V  and  governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-president (North)  Goodall Gondwe, who believe the system would ensure geo-political balance and end allegations of nepotism.

During a Constitution Review Conference from in March 2006, President Peter Mutharika, then minister of justice, weighed in on the proposal and said it was doable.

“We discussed this during the Loudon meeting and agreed as a synod to champion this system. We will soon be issuing a document on this position demanding that we adopt the rotational system,” said Nyondo in quotes reported by Nation on Sunday newspaper.

He added: “You see, everyone in the country must have an opportunity to rule, but since 1994, it has been people from just one region. Does that mean other regions don’t have capable people who can rule? So, we are saying, we need equal sharing of power, and rotational [presidency] is the only way to go.”

In his 2006 presentation titled ‘Towards a More Manageable Constitution’, Mutharika said the idea is not necessarily outlandish, but also wondered whether the system would exacerbate regionalism.

He noted: “Both Switzerland and Malaysia have rotating presidencies. In the case of Malaysia, though, the presidency is a ceremonial position. A constitutional formula could be found under which an executive presidency would rotate.

“Our three regions are certainly not a geographical imperative. They were drawn for the convenience of the colonial administrators and to some extent the missionaries.”

Assuming the idea of a rotational presidency does not garner sufficient support, Mutharika suggested proportional representation and abolition of regions as ways of addressing concerns about regional marginalisation.

He explained: “Another, and perhaps, more radical response is to simply abolish the three regions and create the district as the basic administrative unit. Nigeria successfully resolved the problems that were created by the existence of the three regions at the time of independence in 1960 into what are now 36 states and one federal territory.

“While the initial decision to abolish the regions led to war, Nigeria is now a much more unified and stable country. Similarly, South Africa’s decision to break the original four provinces into nine has created a very stable political environment.”

M’mbelwa, in an earlier interview, said rotational presidency can promote peace and stability while harmonising the political divide.

He said: “When you look at Nigeria, people there stopped fighting after adopting the when you look at the population of the North and Centre, you will find that it is small, and so you find that a northerner or someone from the Central Region cannot be President.”rotational system. In Malawi,

The Ngoni king thinks people in the North feel marginalised, saying: “If you look at Malawi’s political history, Kamuzu [Banda] was from the Central Region and he was in power for 31 years.

“Then came Bakili Muluzi, in 1994, who has been succeeded by people from the South. By 2024, this country will have been ruled by colleagues in the Southern Region for 30 years; hence, the feeling of marginalisation by northerners. Everybody needs to feel as a part of this country.”

Gondwe, who is also  President Peter Mutharika’s adviser on economic issues, said the matter warrants a discussion having been at the centre of discussion in the early 1990s, during a Constitutional Review.

  1. It would be better if he himself practices what he wants others to do. The Bible says how can you remove a speck from someone’s eye when you have log in your eye? You are the man of God please sweep your house first.

  2. Kodi m’mesa ndinu nomwe mumakana quota system sopano apa zikusiyana pati. Rotational leadership will simply defeat the entire purpose of democracy, which is ruling by majority.

    Their hatred of leadership is stemming from wakwithu syndrome.

  3. Nyondo enjoys pedaling shit. Was Kamuzu not partly Tumbuka? Atumbuka nonse you had your 31 years through Kamuzu. Musatibhowepo apa.

  4. KOD IWE NYONDO , NDAKLAMA ZATHA ZIMENE ANAKUPASA A DPP. KOMA BWANA SUNACHITE MANYAZIIIII

    SHAA KOMA MTUMBUKA SAZATHEKA

  8. I like this idea in addition, during election only political leaders at a particular region should compete.
    Never mind is from Dpp, mcp, utm udf as well independent must be of the same region.

  10. MALAWI NEEDS A FEDERAL SYSTEM NOT ROTATIONAL PRESIDENT. UNDER FEDERAL SYSTEM, PEOPLE WILL GOVERN THEMSELVES AND DETERMINE THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT AGENDA. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY CAN DECIDE TO HAVE A TOLL GATE. THE MONEY RAISED FROM THE TOLL GATE WILL BE USED IN THAT REGION.

    1. What if that region is not producing enough to support their citizens like buying drugs, paying salaries to their stuff,
      What will happen.
      Are we going to take loan from other regions????
      Think about it my brother, words are very cheap to say. I support rotation, 10yrs north, 10yrs central and 10yrs south.

    2. good question medson.Tisaiwale kut ma financial activities ndi osiyana muma regions wa. meaning that madera ena kumapezeka ndalama kwambili kuposa kwina.kod zizakhala bwanji ku dera komwe sazizakwanisa kupeza ndalama zoyendetsera dera lo?

  12. Inu nomwe mukane quota system. Inu nomwe mufune rotational president? Ndiye u nyapapiwo! Kape Nyondo he thinjs he is much bigger than the synod

    1. Mr Lowola do not hate Nyondo,he is saying the truth central region Kamuzu Banda was the president of Malawi for 31 years then South Malawi Bakili, Bingu,Joyce Banda then Peter yu . Dziko silidzatukuka. Can’t you see kut zigawo ziwilizi zakanika kutukula dziko.

  13. Ntumbuka ndi ntumbuka and will remain ntumbuka! Chilichonse akufuna nduluzi kenako oppress the majority! Ng’oooo

      1. The following is a list of top rich people of Malawi, check how many are from your region, then know if your region has wise people and whether it is poor or rich:

  16. It’s Time for Constitutional Review …When we adopted Our Multiparty Constitution we Never Knew that There would come Two Brothers who would Sacrifice National Unity at the alter of Tribalism ….Who would Emphasise Tribal Differences,Nepotism in a Country that was Rapidly Changing because of So Many intermarriages …..But Polical Survival riding on the back of Tribalism became their Obsession….Let’s Come up with a System that will Ensure we have a National President….Not the Tribalcracy we are Using Now…

  18. Apo nkhupulika mulongozgi nkhuyowoya kuwemi chomeni na unenesko thanks alot waliska tiinawanthu kumpoto nako why oinly lhomwes yaos no
    CHECK SOUTH Africa every tribe rules the country

    1. Mmmmmmm mukunama inu. South Africa has been ruled by four president after apathaid. Mandela and Mbeke were the Xhosa a minority tribe because Mandela was a reberator and favoured Mbeke his kins men. Then Zuma and Ramaphosa from Zulu, the majority tribe. After realising that Xhosa’s are oppressing them. There are so many other tribes which have not produced a president like the Swanas, shongas, Peris etc. And it’s doubtful if the presidency will be out of Zulus. Looking at the structures of ANC.
      What we need in Malawi for equitable development is federal government systems. Where each region and each district will decide over what they do, if that will not be a breeding ground of self enrichment.

  19. The other time it was the universal system of selection into public university Livingstonia synod, then the chichewa issue Livingstonia elected a billboard on this, the form 1 selection Livingstonia again. This issue Livingstonia again. So everything this country does is against Livingstonia? what do you really preach to the congregants? you should be a college for revolutions. i think the spirit of zolozolo rules this synod.

  20. May be this is the only solution to our economic problems coming in because of our politicians. I would support this and also think if what the politicians say (campaign promises) during political campaign rallies MUST be made policies and they Must be accountable. the problem we have is that those in power (elite) are so selfish and most civil servants are benefiting from such leaving out majority with poorer economic status and development that leaves a lot to be desired. What Bingu said was true Malawi is not poor but the people are the ones who are poor (I would also add up that it is also our mindset that is really poor-after being brainwashed to believe so) tell me is it very wise to spent Millions of dollars to construct area 18 intersection yet the feeder roads are all just dual carriage? Are we not thinking ahead just in the next 5 years at the pace people are buying vehicles will this be useful? Cant we really think, plan and implement for future?
    If the rotational presidency is implemented we shall not see some clinging to power when their time is up. There must be proper planning and implementation strategies to avoid abuse of power……..
    #Cry My beloved Nyasaland

    1. Sense, is there any logic in constructing two more stadia in one city/town……when hospitals have no medicine and roads within that city still get congested heavily almost everytime you drive on them????

  21. …which democracy is that?or you are proposing a new system of government? If a person is great leader..He shall get elected regardless of where they come from..like u Nyondo you R a piece of shit! even on a ballot who can vote for you?even if we said CCAP Livingstonia people shud vote for u..still u ll lose cause uR evil not fit for revend&blinded by wakwithuism

    2. What is Democracy ? Ku Amerika Hillary Clinton anatopeza ma vote 2 million kuposa Trump….Koma President anawina ndana ? Chifukwani Chani ? Ali ndi system yoti Munthu kuti akhale President avomerezedwe ndi Zigawo zambiri ( ma State) not Necessarily Anthu ambiri …Chifukwa President atha kuvoteredwa ndi Anthu Ambiri a Dera limozi ndi Kuwina …..Pamenepo muziti ndi President wa Ziko? Yes only on Paper …Let’s come up with a System which will elect a President for the whole Country ….Not Tribalism mukupangayi namanamizira Democrat …You can’t match Nyondo intellectual wise OR ….IQ wise ndiwe MBULi

  23. Complaining too much. Greed and selfish attitude.

    Chech the number of northerners at capital hill, in district councils, universities, private companies, in banks, in legal firms. Literally everywhere you look. That is not enough? What do they want?

    For a small population of the north one gets a feeling that they are over-reprsented in all sectors of the economy.

  24. Mkulu ameneyu mumamutchula kuti Nyondoyu ndi munthu osokoneza kwambiri uyu

    Angoyamba ndale basi asamabisale mu dzina la mpingo

    1. A true christian s the none who speaks the truth about the society evil.
      How do you talk of democracy while you enjoy riding on other peoples heads and you wanting them to pretend they are fine. The system is not good and people must be willing to accept bthat you cannot always have it all and think others are not fit to rule you or make them inferior tribes to you simply because your success is a breeding program which in many cases contribute greatly to development retrogression. A very small country with an unsustainable population because we want to be winning elections of a useless and poor nation like ours?

  25. But why the Northern People are always power hungry? They want to advance things for their own benefit? If you have a company that’s being led by a northerner, you find every employee in that company comes from the north but if this is replicated by another person, they cry foul ! My heart breeds

    1. And which region are not please. The opposite is true of course for 55 years who has ruled Malawi from the north? So where is the power hunger here? Why would you be naive of the fact that other people could be better rulers also but you can only know that if you creat the chance for them to rule also. What makes you think that you only can be rulers of Malawi

      1. Brown Mpinganjira when he was a minister during Muluzi time….at Post Office he removed almost all the Northerners and filled their vacated posts with Lomwez….was he a Northerner!!!!????

      2. Iwe galu , tangolemba m’ mchichewa kuti zimbveke . Ungodzilumaluma yapa bwanji ?
        Just compete with people from south or centre , basi ! See if you can win on presidential race .

  27. Vuto lake nkhani mwayimba Koma kulekeza panjira, where is Mzomera Kamulepo and this young man Chihana nkhani aziyankhula yankhula zathera Pati? Mwina nkhondo yikhoza kuthandiza

  28. Only if we could abandon this idea of regions and regionalism and view every individual a Malawian!
    Kamuzu was right. He was a great visionary!

    1. when were you born. Kamuzu was the first to chase the northerners. to divide the regions through different colours. green for the north red for the centre and blue for the south. He stole the MCP from its northern founders and arrested them

  29. YES, ROTATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM, IS VERY MUCH DOABLE,AFTER ALL WE ALL PAY TAXES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE CURRENT SYTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES IS BEING ABUSED LEFT AND RIGHT.
    THE TWO MUTHALIKAS ,BINGU & PETER HAVE BEEN BENEFICAIRIES OF THE UNDEMOCRATIC PRACTICES BY ONE BAKILI MULUZI, LATE ALEKE BANDA WAS 1ST VICE PRESIDENT OF UDF SO AUTOMATICALLY HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OVER FROM BAKILI MULUZI JUST LIKE ANC CONDUCTS ITS DEMOCRATIC SUCCESSION PLAN.JOYCE BANDA WAS AGAIN A BENEFICIARY OF THE ECCENTRIC LATE BINGU MUTHALIKA, THE CAPABLE GOODAH GONDWE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OVER FROM LATE BINGU AS 1ST STATE VICE PRESIDENT THEN AS PRESIDENT.

    IT IS COMMON KNOWLDGE THAT HIGH ILLITERACY LEVELS PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTH ARE NOT HELPING US, “THE TIVOTELA WAKUBA YEMWEYO SYNDROME” IS SO DANGEROUS.

  30. It is a very good proposal every Malawian is entitled to ascendancy of the high office regardless of geographical location of his or her home. One Malawi zone Nation. National Cake to be shared to all Malawians equally.

    1. amawaletsa kuimila u president atumbuka ndi ndani?
      atumnbuka amaimila koma samawina chifukwa chozikonda kwambili

  31. Some of the comments are very negative, and it shows how deep hatred is towards Northerners. My question is: Will you allow Northerners to peel off from Malawi without bloodshed? We got our own Nyikaland, and that is our home therefore we have a right to demand equal rights in every facet of the government. Those who advocate Unitary system and domination by the majority are fighting a losing battle because at the end Nyikaland people will be free in their own country. The stubbornness which this mohalko government is showing is the precipitant to peel off from Malawi just like what happened in Sudan. FEDERALISM with rotational presidency is the way to go to install everlasting peace in Malawi. We want a federalism where our presidency will be rotated among the three regions. Each region should be given points according to its population. In order for a political party to win the presidency it must have more than 50 points. The Southern region will be allocated 35 points, Central region 30 points, and Northern region 25 points. In Each province there must be a governor and this governorship will be rotated among the indigenous tribes of that province to ensure that no tribe dominate others because of its majority. What Peter is proposing of having proportional representation is an attempt to keep power in the South. We in the Northern region we reject this ploy that will still keep us in slavery. There are two choices here: You let us go and have our own country that we will call it, Nyikaland, or adopt the FEDERAL system with rotational presidency among our three regions. Those who advocate to oppress the Northerners you have two choices for us to live in harmony as one Malawians. Any political system that gives another region advantage over others is not acceptable and Malawi will split into three. No one here is a fool. I will not compromise on Peter’s plan which still gives the Southern region domination over others—we rather split peacefully. We see Northern region as occupied by unwanted forces. Our people in the Northern region are constantly brutalised and infinity roadblocks to intimidate Nyikaland people. We have seen in the past decades how the Central region and Southern region oppressed people from the Northern region by introducing quota system to make sure that we don’t get educated. It is time for Nyikaland people to stand up for their rights and never surrender until we are totally free from the chains of slavery. An oppressor enjoys himself when he keeps you down. He limit your rising because he fears should you rise you can rise above him. I know my people in the North can rise above and make Northern region the most beautiful land. Our oppressors don’t want us to do that—-they will keep us down because they know we are powerful. I care less about the feud between the DPP and MCP because all these political parties their objective is to make sure a Northerner must rise but to be kept down and further down. I will contact you Reverend Nyondo and let us keep on fighting just like Jesus when he fought for us and eventually giving his life for our sins. We have to give our lives to ensure no Nyikaland child will be a slave again as it is now. Alluta Continuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    1. No tribe own a region, the whole land of Malawi from nsanje to chitipa belong to every malawian. Thats why u can live everywhere without a question. Democracy is what we practice and it state in black and white that the majority rule. Voting using region lines is what we’re good at, and it is mathematically zero chance a president will hail from northen region only if a sitting president demise while vice is from the North. THE ONLY way is to Align with major poritical parties with similar ideologies as yours.

      1. There is no democracy in Malawi….please, please read a book called Animal Farm and understand it if you havent read it before…if already read, then please re read and understand it….

  32. The fact that he is a church pastor does not give him a licence to say whatever dream he has in his head. Isn’t the same church that says there is a season for anything.

  33. vuto la anthu aku mpoto simufuna kutukula kwanu.Mukumanga nyumba mu LILONGWE,BLANTYRE pomwe kwanu nyumba mulibe.
    You dont know how to develop kumudzi kwanu.People from Centre and south even akamagwila ntchito ku dera lina koma kukumdzi kokha nyumba salephela kumanga pomwe inu mumathamangila komwe kuli kale town mumaganiza kut kwanuko azimanga ndi ndani?

    muphuzile kukhala pamodz

    1. Go to the villages in the north and compare with villages in the other regions; you will see who builds houses in the villages. Mkamwini angamange nyumba kumudzi ngati akulepera ku bzyala mtengo. Building house in the city is all but business boy!

      1. mkamwini amamanga chifukwa akapanda kumanga adzakhala pati, Nanga anawo akhala pati. it is part of the culture. Tikunenazi ndi zoti tadziwona. Tikabwera kumaliro kumpoto ( because that’s the usual time their homes are thought of) it’s sad. kuti koma awa mmesa anali mabwana awa.

          1. who said amasunga Ana. amamanga poti Ana ake azikhala. iyenso akakhala pompo. Ana belong to a woman. only she knows the story

  34. kumeneko ndye kufuna kutilamulila motikakamiza.Fuso ndilokuti anthu akumpoto wo amakanizidwa kuimila u president? NOOOOOOOO
    nthawi ya zisankho aliyese amakhala ndi ufulu oimila mpando uliwose ndipo anthu akumpoto nawo amakhala ndi mwai oimila koma vuto ndi kudzikonda komaso kuti mfundo zawo zimakhala za mkutu thats Why anthu samawavotera.

      1. as far as i know atumubuka samaletsedwa kuima pa president koma samawina chifukwa cha zochita zawo.And believe me,no one from the north will rule this countryyyyyyyyyyy.
        ngat pa organisation bwana akangokhala Mtumbuka eeeeeeeeeee ndye kut kuyambila gate man mpaka okolopa ose akhala aku north.ndye khalidwe limenelo mungakhale president HELL NOOOOO

  36. Rev Nyondo you are not a true Man of God ,you mean until today you don’t know that God is the one who chooses leaders ,let me tell you the story of sons of Jesse ,God chose David to be the king of Israel regardless of the appearance of David ‘s brothers , God saw what was in the hearts of David ”s brothers their hearts were filled with pride ,selfishness ,glutton etc polani moto a nyondo sikudzatuluka mtsogoleri kumeneko pokhapokha mulape machimo anu komanso musiye kudzitukumila ,kudzikweza ndinso kunyada .

  37. Obama, a black man, became president of the United States of America; not because rotational presidency.

    Politics is about strategy and competition of ideas. If the political heavy weights in the north fail to penetrate the populous south with their political ideology the anwer is not rotational presidency. The answer is to polish those ideas and make them more persuasive and acceptable to the majority.

    I am afraid rotational presidency will not solve the problem. Attitudes should be reviewed and changed.

    A matter like this can only be solved through a referendum. It will not fly. The majority will reject it.

    Let us together fight corruption, nepotism, cronyism and other isms. Let the cabinet be representative of every region/ district in the country. And let us all love one another.

    Dada Levi Nyondo please concentrate on your core business of preaching the word of God

    1. Each province has a right to take its referendum and Northerners will definitely agree with Reverend Nyondo. Northerners must also take referendum if they want to be independent nation and definitely they will opt for independent rather than being slaves. Let my people go peacefully since to you we are garbage. Why do you still occupy our land: Let my people go and we will never allow ourselves to be slaves of any region or tribe. Enough is enough. Why do you still occupy our Nyikaland? You hate us so much and the best way is to separate. You see us not as human beings but slaves and punching bags.

      1. Iweeee! Atumbuka you are also occupying and irking your survival in Brantyre, Rirongwe and Zhombha…ukanaaaa?

    2. Ken, remember Martin Luther King….for blacks in the US, Desmond Tutu against apartheid in SA etc then you will understand why Nyondo speaks and exists…….otherwise you write well….can you balance up your knowledge next time BEFORE you write please!

  38. I strongly feel the north should be left alone. If it can develop better alone then it’s the way to go. The most funny thing I get is that no body wants to let the north alone…..kumakakamila kuti tonse ndi a Malawi yet eni wake from the north akudandaula…….do you get it pipo? Let people decide their fate. It’s a free world.

    1. inu aku north mungochoka ku malawi kuno muzipita ku tanzania kaya mozambique or zambia.malawi simungamugawe.ngati u president wakulakani,zinkani mwa ma neighbours

  39. Call for a referendum. This is a constitutional issue which Malawians should be allowed to speak through a referendum like we did in 1993 when we decided for a multiparty democracy.

  40. No, no, no way with how these northern idiots are misbehaving there is going to be alot of trouble when one of the mbwenumbwenus is going to try to be a leader, kulibe anthu ambiri kumpoto, zitheka bwanji ngati ili DEMOCRACY ndi zimene akuchita achne Mtambo zi kudzakhala magazi, ANTHU AKUMWERA AFATSA CHIFUKWA PETER IS A LEADER these southern people are savages too zaetseni kudzakhala Rwanda zivute zitani. Northerners have no idea what they have started. Thats why they are idiots. Mayina omachita kusiyana, accent yosiyana muzaziona.

    1. Please tell us our civilized Nsundwe friends. You who have been using Pangas through time immemorial to threaten others. Walking around naked after applying poo on yourselves ( nkhalambayanyeredwa) masquerading as animals, just why and how you believe you are the most civilised out of the north and south.

    2. The point is that you are an illegal occupier and we don’t want to be part of Malawi. Why are you so angry to people that want to part ways with you? You don’t like us because we refuse to be your slaves. Do you want us to be submissive even when the yoke of slavery is too heavy and the masters don’t even want to listen from us. We the Northerners see the MDF and its Police Force as an occupiers that uses force to subjugate us to their will which is more oppression and more. We totally refuse to be third class citizens. The only way for us to be part of Malawi is to have a FEDERALISM system with rotational presidency among our three regions otherwise you must let my people go. VIVA NYIKALAND PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALLUTA CONTINUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA UNTIL WE ARE FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF SLAVERY.

      1. It is sad that our colleagues from the north are taking the issue with a very narrow view. Please do a census and you will note that there are more people from the North working in the South and Centre. If what you are advocating can be accepted then more northerners will be jobless in their own land while there will be more jobs for those in the South and Centre. Sometimes we fight for something without a deeper analysis.

    3. ULOMWE WAKUFIKAPO KULEPHELA KUDZIWA CHABWINO NDI CHOYIPA CHIFUKWA CHAKE MUNGOKHALILA MAKAKA NDI MANGO OPHIKA ALOMWE INU MUMANDIMVESA CHISONI MUNSEU MWANGOZAZA ANTHU ALOMWE OKHAOKHA KUMAPEMPHA CHONSECHO ATOTI WAWO NDI PULEZIDENTI INE KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK NDIPASENI MADZI NDINGAKOMOKE INEYO

  41. Politics is none of your business.As religious leader you have a lot of work to preach the gospel. From what is happening in your church,it seems you are not doing very well because you have the youth taking drugs,engaged in prostitution,and 90percent of your congregation are involved in corruption.
    Possibly you can spend more time preaching the word of God.

    1. JESUS FOUGHT THE POWERFUL ON BEHALF OF THE POOR. BISHOP DESMOND TUTU FOUGHT THE APARTHEID REGIME ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED. IT IS THE DUTY OF TRUE MEN OF GOD TO FIGHT THE EVIL SYSTEM THAT OPPRESS OTHER PEOPLE. REVEREND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING FOUGHT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT FOR ITS OPPRESSIVE LAWS. A TRUE MAN OF GOD WILL SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH AGAINST THE POWER. WELL DONE REVEREND NYONDO. SPEAK THE TRUTH TO THE POWER WITH NO FEAR.

  42. Indeed rotational presidency 💯%,if not let us do that any region must have parliament,like South Africa,we will make Malawi beautifull like Burundi

    1. hahahaha kodi akupmoto amakanizidwa kuimila mpando wa president?
      what i know is that aliyese amakhala ndi mwayi oimila ndipo anthu amasankha yemwe akumufuna.anthu akumpoto mukazasiya kuzikonda ndkizimva,muzalamaulila apo biiii mmmmm muiwale zolamula dziko lino

  43. Livingstonia Mission please understand that the north denies itself development. Now why do I say that.? Firstly People from the north are happy to invest and settle in the south and centre without ever considering where they come from until they die. They are busy building Mansions in Lilongwe and Blantyre yet there’s nothing at home. if these people built in Mzuzu and settled in Mzuzu would it not be developed. some of the best Drs and lawyers in Malawi are from the North. Would people from the centre and south not come to the north for such services?. Secondly, government typically priotises development where people are in majority especially when resources are limited. Now by moving to these other regions you do the beautiful north great injustice. in case there’s a hospital to be built the highly populated areas will typically feature greatly as it serves more people.
    Livingstonia Synod. What you should be doing is engaging people from the region on how best to invest in and develop and settle in the north. Learn from our Yao friends, they always return home. Even now They have formed a grouping on how to move Mangochi forward. ( On this one, I think every district in the country needs to have one grouping such as this). This isn’t everything but it’s what you definitely have power to do.

    1. @ test I absolutely agree with you. Actually the north will soon lose its tradition too. Do you think after 2 or 3 generations of settling in other regions they will be able to hold on to their culture. They are on a very self destructive course. Let the elders rethink I would challenge you today that Even Mr Mtambo has invested in Lilongwe more than what he has in the North. It all starts with US.

    2. I have a friend in Blantyre. Her parents came in Blantyre as students. She was born there, got married there (by fellow Tumbuka of course) and have a family there. As a family, they have a huge business, have built a couple of mansions in Blantyre and fully settled in Blantyre. When I recently got a job in Mzuzu, she asked me, “anthu mumatha bwanji kukhala ku Mzuzu?” I am originally from Blantyre, but I do not see any problem living and settling in Mzuzu. However, what this lady friend of mine told me reminded me that many of the folks from this region (the North) do not like living and developing their own original home. And honestly the majority of Northerners don’t want to stay in Mzuzu. Funny thing they blame the southerners for underdevelopment in their region. They blame the government. But not all structures in the South or Center were built by government. Not all big businesses in the South and Center are owned by the government. The majority of these are owned by ordinary citizens; including our friends from the North. My advice to my dear friends is that let us develop the North together, it starts with us and we must blaming the Government for our own stupidity of not wanting to invest/settle in our original home
