This is clear demonstration that the hunger we often suffer from in Malawi is self induced. If prisoners can perform like this what about our so called graduated from Bunda college? They are busy teaching and applying for jobs as health program managers instead of putting their Uchikumbe skills to good use in afri bussness. Even just buying produce and adding value to it, nooooo rather the rwandan and Burundians do it for us. After graduation all bunda graduates should be taken to Zomba prison with our politicians like someone already said. Bunch of useless people.

It’s highly commendable. However, though famers may be willing to adopt the system, several factors (e.g lack of equips and knowledge) are hampering them. I wish government and responsible NGOs could assist subsistence farmers to make such a ‘full use’

Well done out prisioners you have worked better than our government departments including PAM. The position should be opposite. The whole government should be locked up maybe they will learn from our innocent prisoners.

prison officers, please learn to tell the authorities the truth and only the truth if your department is to develop. its a blue lie that the rice field produces 60% of food for the prisons. you are failing to even produce vegetables for your prisoners. zabodza basis!

Mpunga umenewu wina kumawalanda udzipita mzipatala. By the way, on what scientific basis should women prisoners receive three meals a day while their male counterparts receive only one meal per day? Kulakwa! I would understand on the part of child prisoners. Studies, have shown that if men and women are subjected to starvation for an equal duration of time, men are the ones to die earlier. This is simply because women in general have higher adipose tissue (fat) than men. Fat is food in storage form which can be catabolised (broken down) in times of need.

There is more labour force that is not utilised in the prisons e.g builders, carpenters, fabricators, IT Gurus, agriculturists etc. please lets make use of them.
